The intersection of Highway 97 and Glenmore Road is up for discussion by local politicians at UBCM.

There are no firm answers over traffic woes in Lake Country.

Congestion at Highway 97 and Glenmore Road was front and centre when council met with Transportation Minister Todd Stone at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria Wednesday.

害羞草研究所淭hey are certainly aware of the concerns and issues and we害羞草研究所檙e told it害羞草研究所檚 in the program but it害羞草研究所檚 pretty far down,害羞草研究所 said Coun. Owen Dickie.

In the mid-2000s, Lake Country and the ministry looked at the intersection and determined that moving it south of its current location would improving capacity, safety and flow.

On Wednesday, council asked Stone to advance the project and begin construction of the intersection improvement.

However, Dickie admits that discussions will also need to be held with Kelowna and the Okanagan Indian Band, which border the area.

害羞草研究所淭here are a lot of complexities involved,害羞草研究所 he said.

The second item council discussed with Stone was Highway 97 and Oceola Road.

The ministry has been asked to build a pedestrian overpass as it害羞草研究所檚 dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists to navigate the intersection.

害羞草研究所淭hey are trying t cross six lanes of traffic prone to speeding and accidents,害羞草研究所 said Dickie.

There were no firm decisions from the ministry as this is the first time Oceola Road has been put before them.

害羞草研究所淭hey will look at that matter more closely,害羞草研究所 said Dickie.
