Traffic congestion is so bad in the Central and North Okanagan that it costs each commuter an extra five hundred dollars a year. Those findings in a report released today on traffic congestion and economic costs. Kelowna Transportation director Ron Westlake says, steps are being taken to ensure the costs don't reach the projected 8 hundred dollars per car by 2030."It's not all about building more roads, it's a matter of using those roads more efficiently. We've got an agressive transit plan that we're in the stages of implementing." The report shows over 11 million vehicle hours of excess delay per year are occurring in Kelowna and Vernon.

Does "BS" correctly state the so called findings of "an extra five hundred dollars a year".
When you are trying to enchance your position in Government it is amazing the way justification can be promoted.
Assuming there are 100,000 vehicles in the area cited in this report, that would amount to 1100 hours of delay per vehicle or 6.5 weeks of delay per year.
One would think perhaps Ron Westlake should sharpen his shovel.
