The Westside Road intersection in front of La Casa Resort in West Kelowna, BC, Canada, has become a site of concern for all residents, visitors, and resort guests. Many have witnessed accidents, near misses, and dangerous driving in this area due to the lack of suitable safety measures. Pedestrian crosswalk lights and a reduced speed limit are crucial to help save lives and improve the overall safety in this bustling intersection. The current situation endangers pedestrians, especially during peak hours and seasonal influxes when foot and vehicular traffic is at its highest.

The initiative for change is not unprecedented. Similar proposals for better pedestrian control measures have been highly successful in other areas of British Columbia, as documented by Transportation Association of Canada. By replicating successful safety measures, we could see a substantial decrease in accidents and near misses on Westside Road.

We request that the local administration takes urgent steps to introduce pedestrian crosswalk lights and reduce the speed limit in this specific area. Safety should always be our top priority, and this petition seeks to ensure just that. Together, we can make our roads safer for everyone. Please sign the petition and help us bring much-needed change on Westside Road.
