Kelowna Mayoral candidate BOB SCHEWE -the gloves are off he City. An example is the very west end of McCurdy Rd. Another sugeeston is that some modest single famly housing be constructed much more cost effectve than renovations later, also assisting with mortgage payments And the City is not later spinning it's wheels be brought up to code. As part of the City bureaucracy, I aso saw rsthand many departments hat also need to be addressed On livability once again the Cty counci and mayor have to pnoreze infrastructure. acilties and needs of the exstng residents I just recently retired from the Cty Byw big city problems and costs. Our roadway Dept. and was very much in the middle of the intrasucture needs improvement especialy City bureaucracy for 12 years. I have been in recognized bottlenecks of some of our a self employed renovation contractor and a main arteries.

This community has and tourists alike been very good to my wite and I, and we wish Idealt directly with the street now expanded to other areas of the City beyond the deplorable downtown does and what doesnt work. The current policies and prionties of and council continues to be one of the best camps hat have places to ive in the world. The public has for out a lot of what they see as Iknow firsthand what major issues wih our community. I would lke to start out on a postive note that I agree with the current mayor rightfully promoting and are ust enabling and prolonging the street supporting Journty Home, our arts, culture, fe, which only benefits drug dealers and the diversity and total inclusion of everyone.
