New committee aims to solve Kalavista problems -- By Jennifer Smith

With more than just traffic issues facing the Kalavista Road area, a special group of people is being formed to deal with the problems.

An ad hoc committee is expected to be formed following the 2008 election which will consist of two representatives from the Kalavista area, two residents from outside the Kalavista area, a representative from Greater Vernon Parks, two Coldstream staff representatives and one or two council representatives.

The new committee is being formed since several issues have been brought forward to the Traffic Safety Committee which are outside its mandate.

“There’s many issues outside of just the traffic issues,” said Wendy Kay, chief administrative officer, who has suggested the new committee.

Kay has also advised Kalavista residents to all get together and make a list of all of their concerns.

Once the new committee is formed, it will include in its discussions the most recent recommendations from the Traffic Safety Committee.

Along with reviewing the broad spectrum of issues affecting the boat launch, the Traffic Safety Committee recommendations are:

1. Charge for parking in the boat trailer parking area on weekends and holidays between June 15 and Sept. 15.

2. Restrict parking on the south side of Kalamalka Road between Postill Drive and Kidston Road to one-hour maximum on weekends and holidays during the same period.

3. Paint angled parking stalls and a bicycle lane on the north side of Kalamalka Road.

4. Replace angled parking on the south side of Kalamalka Road with parallel parking and paint the bicycle lane.
