Whereas the BC Ministry of Transportation is often unable to manage local gravel roads to a reasonable standard: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM ask the BC Ministry of Transportation to substantially increase the annual funding allocation towards repair and maintenance of gazetted gravel roads across BC; And be it further resolved that the BC Ministry of Transportation produce a publicly accessible website on the service category for each gazetted gravel road the maintenance standards for each road category, and a public hotline to report and track road deficiencies which do not meet contracted service standards to help enforce contract standards during the contract period, trackgrade contractor performance relative to confirmed hotline deficiencies, and incorporate that performance metric when renewing service contracts.
