A Victoria community group says public access to a popular local waterway is being blocked by homeowners and private landowners.
A survey by the Veins of Life Watershed Society and the University of Victoria's Environmental Law Centre identified about 87 public access points to the Gorge waterway that have been blocked, encroached upon or obscured from view.
Calvin Sandborn, the legal director for the law centre, said in some cases "private" and "keep out" signs have been posted on public land near the Gorge, a tidal inlet that extends seven kilometres through the municipalities of Victoria, Saanich and Esquimalt.
"The problems that we're seeing is that public land going down to the water is often being privatized by adjacent landowners," Sandborn said.
Subdivisions in the region require public access to the waterfront every 200 metres, as well as at the ends of roads close to the water, he said.
