Thanks for the pics! Would love to do that highway myself one day.
Anyways, we all love to complain on here, but now it is time to send our opinions to those that matter.
Big questions for the final two option for the Peachland highway 97 improvements.
First option is the lower alternate route. (but this has had some backlash from the people in Peachland and they want the higher route)
My big question for this route is the huge detour made to connect to the Okanagan Connector.
Is there a further plan to push this route further towards Kelowna and potentially be a new free flow highway route with the proposed second crossing? Or is it just a horrible alignment that will forever dead end at the Connector?

Then there is the option of upgrading the existing alignment. To my dismay
they have selected the option that uses at grade signalized intersections instead of interchanges.
from southwest to northeast:

So, if chosen, this highway expansion option will include the retention of four traffic signals...
I know I will be sending in my comments insisting upon full grade separation.
