Status
Endorsed by the NCLGA Membership | Not Admitted for Debate by UBCM Membership
WHEREAS all commercial truck traffic that passes through the East gate of Jasper National Park also uses the West gate of the park; and
WHEREAS Highways 16 and 5, the Yellowhead Highway, are the primary transportation corridors for critical supply chain transportation, tourism and local traffic and the designated over-size route for industrial movements for British Columbia;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that NCLGA and UBCM urge the Province to communicate with the Government of Canada and Parks Canada requesting that the Jasper National Park West gate be upgraded to a standard consistent with the East gate improvements that have been completed to improve the efficiency of moving goods and travelers through this critical corridor to the rest of British Columbia.
