Public Speaks on Transportation Plan -- by Starlee Speers, Astral Media Radio

The focus of Tuesday nights public input session for Vernon's draft Transportation plan was on the 25 year plus option of preserving a Western bypass corridor.

Around one-hundred twenty-five people turned out for the dialogue with city council and staff. Speakers raised concerns regarding the by-pass and also brought concerns to council about lack of policing on busy, high traffic roads, air pollution and food security.

When pressed to choose an option many speakers favoured having one way traffic on 27th street and Highway 97.

Staff will now include input from the session into their final report to city council.
