A West Kelowna councillor has suggested School District 23 needs a 香蕉视频直播榖onk on the head香蕉视频直播� when it comes to planning for growth in the city.
Doug Findlater shared his concerns during a review of the city香蕉视频直播檚 Official Community Plan (OCP) at the May 24 council meeting, regarding a comment from SD23 about the need for more school sites.
香蕉视频直播淭hat香蕉视频直播檚 a little bit odd to me given that we just gave up a school site in Goat香蕉视频直播檚 Peak,香蕉视频直播� said Findlater.
He added that in part because of rapid growth in the city and being dwarfed by Kelowna, the school district香蕉视频直播檚 planning has not kept up with West Kelowna.
香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e seeing patch jobs like tearing down George Pringle, rebuilding there, and dispersing elementary kids around the city. That reflects a lack of planning to me. We need to bonk the school district on the head to pay attention to what we香蕉视频直播檙e doing over here.香蕉视频直播�
Findlater also said the city should continue to press the province to get funding for schools.
Overall, staff told council public and stakeholder feedback on the OCP was positive. Top issues included transportation planning, a range of housing options, as well as more affordable and attainable housing. Some councillors said they hoped the OCP would be ready for adoption by now.
香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 not happy, but understanding and certainly accepting of the next steps,香蕉视频直播� said Councillor Rick de Jong. 香蕉视频直播淚 wish it could have happened faster coming into October and November. But I can accept this.香蕉视频直播�
Mayor Gord Milsom indicated he would like to see hard dates from staff for implementation of the OCP.
香蕉视频直播淟et香蕉视频直播檚 put some dates on it if we can,香蕉视频直播� added Milsom. 香蕉视频直播淟et香蕉视频直播檚 have a good timeline when we know this is going to be complete.香蕉视频直播�
