Kelowna doesn't need a bypass either, most traffic originates in Kelowna or West Kelowna, so the bypass only benefits a small percentage (there was a study done a few years ago, think the number was 94% originates in one of the two cities). Unless you are driving to a destination in the Okanagan, the Trans Canada through Kamloops is the main route through the province. Even driving from the lower mainland to Vernon is about the same time driving the TransCanada through Kamloops and 97 through Falkland, as it is driving through Kelowna.
