Petition relating to the Blue Mountain Birch Cove Lakes (BMBCL) Regional Park and the sale of HRM owned lands and commercial development in the Bayers Lake Business Park We, the undersigned residents of Halifax Regional Municipality, urge HRM staff to continue to work with the Department of the Environment and BANC developments and interested community groups to ensure: 1. Creation of a safe public access and amenities site for active recreation in BMBCL Regional Park and Wilderness Area 2. Preservation of the wetlands on the south side of the Wilderness Area which form a part of the overall Watershed containing Susies and other Birch Cove Lakes, some of the healthiest lakes in HRM 3. Preservation of sight lines from the Birch Cove Lakes and 4. Preservation of the granite plateau that forms the edge of the watershed west of Kent Building Supply. Further, we urge HRM staff to withdraw the HRM lands from the development that were included in the 2006 Regional Park concept proposal (Map 13) south of the Wilderness Area and to designate these lands as part of the Blue Mountain Birch Cove Lakes Regional Park
