Name: debbie Rouault From: edmonton, ab	Get with the times a bypass makes your city grow it does not hurt it. It brings more people because you have better access to jobs shopping ect. Added: August 19, 2009
Name: Don From: Westside road	Westside road is best positioned to be a by pass road with overall cost and environmental savings over bridge building and putting further stress on the Kelowna City centre. The rapid population/trafic growth strongly suggests a need for some decisions and planing. Added: March 12, 2009
Name: Ryan From: Vernon	Great ideas Huguette, but incredibly idealistic. Light rail electric transit? in Vernon??? Changing our focus to an economy that just depends on local goods and services to reduce transportation distances. It sounds like a great idea but how can be executed? The companies that are responsible for our global economy have made it this way to increase their profit. The rich have gotten incredibly richer and more powerful partially because of this. Try telling these rich and powerful executives to cut their profits so that we can change a global economy back into a local one. It's not gonna happen in my lifetime. But back to the bypass. . .Think how packed the main roads are with traffic and how long each car truck and semi truck sit idling at each light. That's unproductive greenhouse gases being produced. Then all these vehicles accelerate 50 metres down the road only to stop at the next light and ruin any momentum they have gained. This is a 90% waste in productive emissions as well. The congestion is just adding to the problems. And if you think that this problem is going to solve itself by having buses, carpooling and light rail electric trains, you are wrong. The population increases exponentially and the majority of people depend on their vehicles, it's not just a luxury as environmentalists accuse. The worst part of Vernon by far is downtown where Hwy 97 runs it's huge bulk of transportation trucks right though the middle of our city. Vernon new's OCP has scraped the idea of setting aside land for the western bypass and it also states a goal of revitalizing downtown. Without some sort of bypass, downtown will be very hard to revitalize with large dirty, noisy, exhaust rich trucks slugging their way through our city centre. In a way it's a blessing as all the people traveling through our city only see the dirty part of our city, discouraging any thought they had of moving here and slowing the growth in population. The idea of not planning for a bypass in the next quarter of a decade is a huge mistake. I love Vernon, but I'm not sure if I'll be living here in 10 years if it becomes anything like Kelowna.

Name: Huguette Allen From: Lumby	Having grandchildren who go to school in Vernon,I understand that the thought of reducing traffic in Vernon is appealing. I too worry about the fact that children spend the greater part of their life breathing exhaust fumes. Consequently I can understand why it is tempting to agree to building more roads. However, as study after study has shown, more roads create more problems. As stated in the Sierra Club's challenge to sprawl campaign document: "... is called Induced Traffic. Studies show that new and expanded roads cause an increase in driving. Building new roads actually creates more congestion." Of course this is not all that roads do. They reduce biodiversity by destroying large tracks of wild lands and by fragmenting remaining areas, to say nothing of road kill. Roads also encourage sprawl, result in more traffic accident and higher taxes. Given the very real and urgent challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we should be looking at ways to reduce traffic, not ways to increase it. There are more economical, ecological and immediate solutions. When one looks at the downtown traffic, it's easy to see that very few vehicles would actually benefit from a bypass road for most of the cars are local traffic. Trucks might, but let us first look at what those trucks carry. A cursary look shows that typical resources being shipped to and from the area include: cattle, lumber, fruits, vegetables, processed wine, some gold, copper, and grain from the prairies. Some of this transport could immediately be reduced by shifting to a more local economy and allowing more food processing in our own areas. For example, beef could be processed here rather than shipped as cattle to the US then brought back as meat. Other products could be put on rail if we had more rail availability. Now there's an idea! Let's reverse the trend of having the majority of Canada's trade with the US carried by truck (was 63% in 2003 and has continually increased since)- let's make it rail instead. As for car traffic, the solutions are well known: increased public transportation options such as light rail electric trains, fuel efficient buses and vans, bike paths, car-pooling and mixed use development. Vernon has the opportunity to lead by example, to show that council understands that the extraordinary times we live in demand new solutions. Let's build this city around the child rather than around the car. Huguette Allen. Lumby, BC 250-309-5973 Added: July 20, 2008
Name: Candis Hanse From: Vernon	I live 2 block off 32nd Street across from the Hospital and Polson Park... It is too bad this organization doesn't pressure the Provincial and Federal Governments to get this Western Bypass in place. With all the hype and legislation surrounding smoking you would think they would have more clout to get a major highway out of the middle of Vernon...after all the pollution from the cars and trucks are thousands times more harmful than smoke from cigarettes. There should be laws enacted to make sure that people don't have to sit in traffic breathing in exhaust fumes from vehicles which I am sure causes more damage to the lungs than can be imagined. The cancer that causes has not even been brought forward. With the wishy washy city council in Vernon catering to a few (which might be counted in the hundreds) can not compare with the whole (which counts in the tens of thousands. Who are the council looking after? Not the whole population of Vernon. Added: July 6, 2008
