Emergency Road Network Planning

Whereas rural communities cannot meet the challenges of climate change without a climate change and emergency management strategy for critical transportation networks; And whereas the Ministry of Transportation and Transit is not required to participate in local government planning processes; And whereas planning for growth in our communities is not feasible in the absence of any road network planning by the Ministry of Transportation and Transit: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM request that the Province instruct the Ministry of Transportation and Transit to collaborate with local governments on emergency access road plans for rural and unincorporated areas, upon request.
