Public input is being sought for a transportation study in Peachland.

On Wednesday, the Ministry of Transportation announced that it is seeking input regarding potential Highway 97 safety improvements through and around the Central Okanagan community.

To take part, though, opinions will have to be voiced online, as no in-person information sessions are being held due to coronavirus concerns.

According to the ministry, the study will allow for public feedback to help refine short-, medium- and long-term safety and mobility improvements through the well-travelled corridor.
