The District of Peachland says it opposes all the shortlisted Highway 97 options presented by the Ministry of Transportation.

“Neither option has addressed the valid concerns of the community, and the technical options failed to give enough weight to the social and community impacts of the on-line or off-line routes,” Mayor Cindy Fortin said in a press release Monday afternoon.

“The alternate or bypass routes are definitely not what the community envisioned. To be blunt, it is very disappointing.”
