When we moved to Kelowna, there was a visitor/welcome centre on the highway as you entered West Kelowna. It was worth stopping just for the view but, also it made sense to stop before you entered the city, to get information, maps, etc. Vernon also had one on the highway before you entered the city.
Both are now gone. I think it’s ridiculous that they were removed.
Now you want it downtown. Motorists won’t even know it exists. They need to be visible and easily accessible. Parking downtown is a major headache and now that they have the new Yacht Club and Cactus Club with no real parking in the plan, parking is worse.
Where are the city planners? This latest idea is as stupid as putting the HOV lanes on the wrong side of the highway.
