Coun. Mohini Singh pointed out that data shows as many as 50,000 people will be migrating to the city over the next 20 years, and with nearly half the land within the city in the ALR, council has to look for "creative way to accommodate all the people that are coming here

So apparently the plan is to house them all in the Gyro beach area??

Mayor Colin Basran was more to the point, speaking to people who believe South Pandosy is poorly planned, and those who accuse council of bending to the whim of the planning department.

Sorry Basaran, but it is absolutely poorly planned. For the supposed "proof" off all the people that want to live there, maybe take a look at the rentals on the "new" properties in the area. Your building tourists condo's, not residential living space for the residents of Kelowna.

In 5 years the entire area will be extremely overpopulated, (it's almost impossible to try and go to any park or beach in the area already), and traffic will be backed up that it will literally turn into constant gridlock.

Developers have free rein in the town and have for quite awhile.
