Stop speeding in park

The Regional District of the Central Okanagan has stated in a letter it does not have the financial means to enforce an e-bike ban in Kalamoir Park in West Kelowna, nor does it have the financial means to enforce excessive speeds (on trails).

It does, however, have the financial means to create an active transportation corridor through the heart of a park, which has a ban on all motorized means of transportation on its trails.

Is a cute sign—indicating the maximum speed for bicycles is 15 kilometres per hour—going to rein in the speed demons who threaten the peace, serenity and the safety of the walking public in Kalamoir Park?

Kalamoir Park was gifted to the RDCO with the provision it remain a conservation park. Does an active transportation corridor, which resembles a railway right-of-way, in any way contribute to the conservation of the park?
