ABCs of Blackmun Bay

The ABCs of Blackmun Bay, which will lead to negative foreseen and unforeseen consequences that will change our community and the Central Okanagan forever:

A … Access to our semi-rural community Fire/Ambulance impeded

B … Bennett Bridge congestion will increase at roundabout

C … Campbell Road congestion throughout construction and afterward

D … Density of project more in keeping with Manhattan high-rises

E … Excessive vehicular and boat traffic

F … Fake News spread by Blackmun Bay sales propaganda

G … Greed and deception by Calgary developer

H … Honestly? We are being manipulated?

I …   Infrastructure – there isn't any for a monstrous project such as proposed

J …   Jeopardy – Casa Loma is in great peril, our community is threatened

K … Knife – as in a dagger in the heart of our beloved semi-rural lifestyle

L … Lake is already totally congested near the Bennett Bridge

M …Mockery of the ALR whose guidelines need to be maintained

N … NFPA guidelines totally ignored (National Fire Protection Association)

O … OCP does not allow for an open pit mine destroying the hillside! 

P … Precedent setting development with no concern for residents

Q … Questionable economic viability of the project due to its size

R …  Respect – as in a total lack of respect for our community

S …  Speculation Tax could stretch this development out for 20 years

T … Tax revenue should focus development in Westbank Town Centre 

U … Will create a undesirable and unlivable community – as many will want to sell and leave Casa Loma

V … Violation – this proposal is completely against the terms of the OCP

W … Wildlife corridor would be permanently severed

X … X-factor - Future elections would face the wrath of upset voters

Y … Why encourage monstrosities such as this in a beautiful rural area where the escarpment would be permanently scarred with four massive 10-storey towers on a postage stamp sized property. There is not enough space for everything that is planned.

ZZZZZ … Who's asleep at the switch? Common sense needs to prevail! 

West Kelowna council needs to make decisions that are in the best interest of the citizens of West Kelowna and not to pander to greedy developers!
