Recent work on Transit Supportive Corridors (TSC) highlight one area of development towards the end of enhancing Urban Centres. Council adopted the TSC Pilot Final Plan and the associated OCP amendments (Bylaw 12846) on February 2, 2026. This enables predictable, context sensitive infill along key corridors connecting Urban Centres (e.g. Bernard Avenue, Gordon Drive, Clement Avenue, Richter Street, Pandosy Street, and Lakeshore Road) while coordinating future streetscape and transit improvements. We are implementing the TSC Pilot to pre-zone key corridors for four-to-six-storey housing and mixed uses that naturally support higher transit demand. This approach focuses growth where frequent, reliable service can be delivered most effectively. We are planning an 18 per cent increase in transit service over the next three years, subject to local and provincial funding. This service expansion will focus on mid-day and evening service on routes between Urban Centres. To support this, we are upgrading key transit exchanges (Rutland, Mission Recreation, Okanagan College and Orchard Park) and planning for expansion of our Transit Centre. . We are also refurbishing the existing Hardy Transit Centre to maximize capacity in the interim while advancing the new Kelowna Regional Transit Centre to support long-term service expansion and fleet electrification. The new facility is shovel ready, with early works completed so construction can move quickly once funding commitments are confirmed. At the same time, corridor-level planning is underway to phase in transit upgrades as ridership and land-use intensity increase. This includes the Richter Corridor Study, which is advancing long-term planning for a key north-south transit connection by protecting the corridor and guiding phased urbanization and future multimodal upgrades over time. Supporting projects such as the Sutherland ATC, Leckie ATC and the Bertram Multi-Use Overpass across Highway 97 improve first‑ and last‑mile walking and biking access, making it safer and more convenient to reach transit. In response to the Province announcing a four-year extension of the e-scooter pilot in 2024, we renewed our permit program, through a competitive selection process, to run until the summer of 2026 with possible extension to 2027 and 2028. During this term, we will continue work with the current program operator to strengthen practices that improve safety, reduce clutter and maximize benefit to residents and visitors.
