Survey results show strong support for a pedestrian-friendly downtown

The results are in from the online survey and the 15 question poll conducted from June 7 - July 12 reveals some interesting preferences for the downtown core.

Highlights include strong support for a downtown that gives more sidewalk space to pedestrians and retailers. 81 % of responders said they would make downtown a destination more often if its pedestrian spaces were enhanced.

When it came to parking, 64 % said they would not be deterred from visiting downtown if the number of on-street parking stalls were reduced on Bernard by 62 stalls to accommodate more pedestrians and patio space.

The survey also shows 55 % support for the parallel parking scenario that reduces parking stalls on Bernard by 62 spaces in order to make more room for sidewalks.

Take a look at the full results online at kelowna.ca/cityprojects.
