Traffic, ferry tie\u002Dups and overcrowding are among islanders\u0027 concerns with Metro Vancouver\u0027s proposal to create a new campground and park.
“We have one point on and off the island and that point is already really, really overcrowded in the summertime,” she said.
Andrew Leonard, Bowen Island’s mayor, expressed similar concerns about the impact on transportation, infrastructure and tourism. “I do think most of those have answers, but we’re awaiting a lot of information from Metro Vancouver on what commitments and solutions will be.” Recreational vehicle and trailer camping would not be permitted. If the land is added to the Metro Vancouver regional parks system, planning and design would continue through 2023.
