transportation
No
etc?
Despite development plan's "emphasis on people
over cars" through the provision of neighbourhood
walkbike trails, the sheer distance of this
development from city centre and existing
commercial centres increases car dependency,
forcing residents to drive their vehicles into town.
Taxis are likely cost-prohibitive.
More single-occupant and other vehicle trips
places pressure not only on existing roads in the
Landing and area, but also on parking in the City.
Okanagan Landing bus service is already
problematic as bus schedule is not optimized for
working families.
YES
