The Shannon Ridge Drive Traffic Survey results have been received
The Shannon Ridge Traffic Survey promised by the Distric of West Kelowna after the 2010 AGM was received by the SLNA October 8, 2010. The study essentially documents that the recorded traffic volumes and speeds are well within what the District and their Consultant considers to be acceptable levels at the Shannon Lake Elementary School end of Shannon Ridge and the traffic speeds are of concern at the opposite end. The District is implementing traffic calming measures where the study identified issues of concern. On recently meeting with the District Engineer the concerns, whether backed-up by hard data or casual observation, regarding the School were kept on the table. The School will be facing more traffic as it is undergoing an expansion and while the volume and speed of the traffic may be within reasonable parameters safety issues are occurring. Further work may be required to try to modify the behavior of those accessing the school or passing through. It was discussed that a follow-up neighbourhood meeting addressing ONLY the issues of traffic and access to the Elementary School may be appropriate. Working with the District the SLNA will try to organize such a meeting in the near future. The traffic study and cover letter from the City Engineer can be viewed by clicking HERE.The SLNA Advocate

DWK Council Meeting for Neighbourhood Updates
On December 2, 2009 The District of West Kelowna invited 11 neighbourhood associations to present a "neighbourhood update" of current issues and concerns. SLNA attended and presented a powerpoint presentation documenting issues and concerns raised by members and input received from the Shannon Lake community over recent history. The format only allowed a brief 10 minutes of presentation and 10 minutes of questions from the Council members. We believe our presentation was well received and we did try to cover as much ground as possible with the limited time provided. This process will likely be repeated at least annually so we will be working on a fluid and evolving document.
