Six-lane the bridge

Three lanes exiting and two lanes entering Kelowna. 

Result: unaffordable delays by all segments of our community, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Potential solution: we have a third lane entering Kelowna that is devoted to pedestrians, cyclists and bridge maintenance vehicles. This lane is wide enough to be converted to a third lane.

Build a cantilever structure attached to the south side of the bridge to accommodate pedestrian/cyclist traffic.

Expensive yes, but cheaper than any other alternative I have heard mentioned.

This solution would at least temporarily delay the twinning of the bridge until the powers that be in Victoria approve a much-needed bypass plan for the city.
