Our Mobile Home Park needs a left turn lane off Casorso road in Kelowna BC.
Casorso Road is a reasonable volume road with connections to schools, shopping centers, churches, residences, and other normal destinations.

To brief you in the story: was driving my car without a front license plate. Was stopped at the roadblock and had a conversation with an officer, who mentioned that I don't have a front license plate number and asked me to install it asap and wished me a good way.
