Sunriver subdivision, alone, already encompasses over 700 homes. Over twenty per cent of Sooke's population lives on the north side of two little bridges on Phillips Road, crossing Demamiel Creek. There are no schools, no retail stores, coffee shops, or other services available to this community within a reasonable walking distance in various weather conditions. Leaving automobile, school bus, or inadequate public transit as the only means of accessing these services. This is not in line with the Districts expresed concerns about climate change and the environment. Adding another several hundred vehicles to the mix only exacerbates the problem.

Forest fires are becoming a regular occurrence in our province, and not only in the summer months. Our area is completely surrounded by forest. An earthquake is predicted to happen today, tomorrow or twenty years from now - not if, but when. How will residents evacuate the area if such occurs? Traffic in this area is increasing weekly, another 250 to 400 vehicles travelling on the main arteries of Riverstone, Sunriver, and Phillips, will inevitably lead to many dangerous situations. The road systems were not designed to accommodate parking, two way traffic, heavy trucks and busses.
