While a B次元官网网址減arkB次元官网网址� like scenario with limited parking and walking access to Clover Point accompanied by picnic tables and other amenities sounds Utopian and appealing, the realities are different.

The Clover Point B次元官网网址渓oopB次元官网网址� has long been a place to park during warmer weather for citizens from across Greater Victoria partaking in walking, kiting, picnicking, wind surfing and other fair-weather outdoor waterfront activities.

Parking on the B次元官网网址渓oopB次元官网网址� during the fall and winter and during storms and year-round in evenings and daylight provides a unique opportunity to enjoy the views and magnificence of the ocean, the strait and the Olympic Mountains, and find a moment or two of peace and solace, and to contemplate our world.

The Clover Point B次元官网网址渓oopB次元官网网址� provides a wonderfully unique addition and perspective to the scenic Dallas Road drive for all citizens and tourists alike who regularly enjoy that B次元官网网址渨aterfront drive.B次元官网网址�

Council is considering a change to Clover Point that would see this area change from a space that works well with year-round access and utilization for all citizens to a change in use that looks lovely on paper but is impractical in reality.

We do not all live within a walk of Dallas Road and Clover Point, and this unsolicited, unilateral, and misguided option begs the question: B次元官网网址淎re we changing Clover Point for the sake of change itself?B次元官网网址�

Let us keep Clover Point as it has been for future generations B次元官网网址� itB次元官网网址檚 a special place and it would truly be a shame to do otherwise.
