Maintenance of Forest Service Roads
Status
Endorsed by the NCLGA and UBCM Memberships
Whereas for years the provincial government has approved the establishment of private land parcels that
are only accessed by way of forest service roads, which are maintained by and at the discretion of the
forest companies that use them;
And whereas the current and expected to worsen downturn in logging activities in BC is resulting in forest
companies withdrawing their activities from the bush and ceasing maintenance of those forest service
roads, which leaves residents stranded with no access to their properties:
Therefore be it resolved that UBCM urge the provincial government to undertake a review of the province’s
many forest service roads to determine which ones are critical for the public’s access/egress and develop
a plan to maintain them as public roads.
