Whereas thousands of British Columbians and tourists visit provincial parks each year; And whereas roads to provincial parks are often accessed by and connected to local government roads resulting in increased maintenance and road building costs to local governments: Therefore be it resolved that the UBCM advocates that the Province provide road funding for the maintenance and building of local government roads that connect to and provide access to provincial parks, to ensure the continued, safe access of those provincial parks; And be it further resolved that the Province also provide road funding to maintaining and build secondary access emergency roads and bridges connected to provincial parks.

Provincial Response

Ministry of Transportation and Transit Roads located within municipal boundaries fall under local government jurisdiction. The Ministry of Transportation ad Transit does not intend to assume additional road inventory beyond the existing provincial highway network at this time.
