To the editor:

After reading your story in the Aug. 15 edition of The Capital News and reviewing the City of Kelowna website, it isn害羞草研究所檛 clear whether or not city council considers the 12 goals for this transportation plan to be finished or a work in progress. I certainly hope it害羞草研究所檚 the latter.

As currently written, these aren害羞草研究所檛 害羞草研究所済oals害羞草研究所� but rather 害羞草研究所渂road guidelines害羞草研究所�. To be a goal, there needs to be specific definitions, specific measurable targets, and specific time frames.

Statements like 害羞草研究所渂e innovative and flexible害羞草研究所� or 害羞草研究所渋mprove travel resources害羞草研究所� or 害羞草研究所渟upport livable communities害羞草研究所� are vague at best. Without concrete definitions, measurements and timelines, how is Council (or taxpayers) supposed to hold an educated conversation about projects, priorities, funding or expectations? How will Council (or taxpayers) know if they (we) are being successful or not? These statements are so subjective they could easily mean 100 different things to 100 different people.

This document is a good start but far from being a finished product.
