During the Carr91裸聊视频檚 Landing by-election, one of candidate Jeannette Lambert91裸聊视频檚 campaign platform issues was the sale of publicly owned road-end land to enhance or expand other public access areas.

Since winning the election, Lambert has followed through on that commitment.

Her request of district staff to bring forward a road-end and easement acquisition and disposition policy was on the agenda for Tuesday91裸聊视频檚 council meeting.

That issue is partly behind the concerns of some Carr91裸聊视频檚 Landing residents concerned about the fate of Gable Beach, and others voicing opposition to public access points to local lakes being sold off to adjacent property owners.

Lambert91裸聊视频檚 argument is the profits from such land sales can be used to expand or enhance existing public park and other access points to local lakes that can accommodate larger numbers of people and are not disruptive to nearby property owners.

Cara Reed, with The Friends Of Carr91裸聊视频檚 Landing Public Beaches, said she has spoken to Lambert about that policy.

She is concerned the profits of selling lakefront access land can only be used to acquire public land elsewhere, leaving her to wonder why the district would sell beach access land to begin with rather than enhance it.

91裸聊视频淲hether we preserve or sell off access to lakefront beaches should not be determined by the number of parking spaces that exist,91裸聊视频� Reed said.

For Lambert, she said improving beach access points to benefit the majority rather than small numbers of neighbouring residents is behind her thinking.

91裸聊视频淲e are an agriculture-based community, so we have to think intelligently about how to generate revenues to work towards improving all the amenities we want,91裸聊视频� she said.
