What Are The Negatives?

Two groups went so far as to list what they saw as the negatives about Summerland.

The Negatives

• Not enough walkways and bicycle paths - more needed
• No hospital
• Industrial areas are not used efficiently, they have low employment per hectare and are ugly.
• There's not enough green space downtown
• Some sectors of the business community are marginally viable due to the proximity of Kelowna and Penticton
• Rural areas are becoming urbanised. we are losing our rural feel.
• Existing bylaws and the OCP are not well enforced - developers seem to lead the way.
• Rural/Urban conflicts are developing
