Had to laugh when I saw the comment on the video that every light on 97 is red. Unless things have changed (I was born and lived there for 30+ years but moved away), the lights on 97 were perfectly timed so that you could hit every light on green without ever stopping on 97 which functions as the main artery for the city but if your timing was bad, you get stuck with every light red lol. With the amount of traffic there nowadays, it's probably less likely that one can get every light green unless you are traveling at night.
I live a couple of blocks from Kelowna Hospital ,, I'm a member of Kelowna Springs Golf Course ( which is near the airport ). There are fourteen traffic lights between my home and the golf course. My time of travel ( three days a week ) would be between 6.30 and 7.30 am. there has been numerous occasions where I hit every light green.
Snow still in the mountains so it looks like this video was taken on a chilly Sunday morning. Also, Kelowna is a massive sprawl with no high-density areas where one would typically see a lot of pedestrians although the downtown core does get quite busy during the warmer months. With Mission, Black Mountain, Glenmore, Rutland, the West Side, etc... its far cheaper for developers to just go farther out than it is to go up.
It very much depends on what you are expecting and which is the aspect that you resonate most. If you are looking for a city where people enjoy snow ski, water activities, wineries, beautiful landscapes and sunshine, particularlly a city where people still can find relatively affordable detached houses, this city is one of the best without hype. Having said that. if you are looking for a city where people have some fun in the night clubs, and a city which is full of descent jobs or lucrative businesses, Toronto or Vancouver is your best choice. Sum up, this city has full of potential. People might wait another decade to see if it is the dream city that they are looking for.
What the hell are you talking about? There is no "Notley" on the City Council. The only Notley that I can think of was the Premier of Alberta years ago. You do know that Kelowna is in BC not Alberta, right? Sounds like your post was just a made-up story to politick some nonsense. While I moved away from Kelowna years ago, I lived there for over 30 years through the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s... and during the majority of that time, Kelowna had a very conservative major (Walter Gray) representing a very conservative, white community. Kelowna, like Vancouver, is a popular place for homeless people to come from around the entire country because of its climate but having a conservative politician in power all those years doing nothing to ensure adequate housing and social services to get people off the streets did not help. But to be fair, homelessness is a complex issue and no one political party is responsible for it, nor is there a political party that has a foolproof solution. I saw firsthand as the homeless issue grew year by year over the last half of a century under conservative policies, so you will need to find a more gullible audience to peddle your politics.
Realyy goood! Thanks!

Great video of Kelowna!
Thank you!
Saludos desde Guayaquil Ecuador
Im gonna be there in january for work, looks fine to me, thanks for the vídeo
Hope you enjoy it!
We're full, please move on.
Good video. But being a long longtime resident, I hate to see all the tall buildings downtown blocking out the sun. Makes it feels claustrophobic .
I'm from Boise, Idaho and it sort of gives off the same vibes
I have not been there, but hopefully will soon!
Been to Boise a bunch. I get why you think that, but they have roughly zero things in common.
It was Canada's best city . . . . 50 years ago

You forgot central green !
"Surrey on the lake"
How is it surrey by the lake? There not very many Indians
@Sugarshane88 no, but the crime in Kelowna is just as high as Surrey.
Why no people on street?
Early Sunday morning is probably why

@@AJ-to8lb Yes it was a Sunday!
I just saw a video with many homeless in tents
How can you make that claim?
I only saw a couple tents
Seems this city has nothing going for it with all that hype I have been reading about. Beautiful scenery though.
It sure is pretty!
you go there in august and it hits 50 plus degrees in the shade 🤮

Who's Notely?

guy, you realize Kelowna is in British Columbia, right? Rachel Notley is the former premier of Alberta.
