Report ID:  21596

Audience:  Government and Public

This project consists of a proposal to widen the Okanagan Lake Bridge which connects Kelowna to Westside. The proposed project may result in realignment to portions of Highway 97 and the Campbell Road intersection in the Tsinstikeptum Indian Reserve No. 10 on the west side of the bridge and a small portion of Highway 97 on the east side of the bridge. The purpose of the overview was to locate, identify, map, record, evaluate and assess all environmental resources located within 100m of the bridge centerline. The findings indicated that there are several Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA) within the study area and that should construction proceed an Environmental Protection Plan should be developed to protect those ESA's and the surrounding environment.
