T2.11Improve bike and sidewalk year-round maintenance

With its relatively mild and dry winters, Kelowna has one of the best year-round climates in Canada for walking and biking. Keeping pathways clear will help people get around safely, particularly seniors and people with disabilities. Bike lanes are sometimes used to store snow in the winter, making year-round riding challenging. Therefore, to promote active transportation in the winter, improving winter maintenance of sidewalks, bicycle lanes and pathways, prioritizing the most popular routes will help extend the riding season.
