Transportation proposals include starting construction on the Clement Crosstown Connector, improvements in the Mission, completing the Hollywood Road and Gateway connection, advancing Glenmore Road improvements and pushing the province to prioritize a second Okanagan crossing.

The platform also proposes making attainable homeownership a city housing objective and creating incentives for more family-sized homes.

On economic development, Dyas is proposing a YLW Economic Corridor around Kelowna International Airport, aimed at attracting aerospace, advanced manufacturing, logistics and other employment uses.

His campaign also proposes a program called Kelowna First Jobs & Careers, intended to create first-job and early-career opportunities.

Dyas says the city has made progress during his first term and that the next four years should focus on continuing that work.

Kelowna voters will elect one mayor and eight councillors on Oct. 17. Dyas is running against Ron Cannan and Andrew Mark Uitvlugt.
