On Sept. 9, Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas and city councillors will vote on a plan to borrow $667 million, (and pay) unspecified interest, on roads and cut more affordable transit and active transportation projects.

This is shocking and is such outdated planning. It goes against the city’s 2040 Official Community Plan, the city’s Transportation Master Plan and prior to that, Imagine Kelowna.

We have climate change to worry about and this is going in the opposite direction. Get more buses on the road.

We need the mayor and councillors to oppose this. They have the ammunition, it goes against the OCP and Transportation Master Plan, it goes against climate change initiatives and residents can’t afford to borrow that much money.
