KVR Trail Strategy Feedback Form

The City of Penticton is creating a strategy to shape the future of the KVR Trail. This plan will help guide improvements to infrastructure, safety, accessibility, connectivity, and amenities — and we want your input.

This survey will take just a few minutes and will help the City understand how people use the trail, what matters most, and where improvements can be made. Your feedback will directly inform the strategy. Feedback will be collected through to July 20.
