Incorporation of Active Transportation Corridors in all Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure Current Future Highways Projects

Whereas the Province of British Columbia and local governments continually encourage people of all ages to be more physically active; And whereas the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure MOTI promotes active transportation and healthy living by encouraging cycling, and contributing funds to cycling infrastructure projects such as bike lanes, separated bike paths, shared roadways, shoulder bikeways, and bicyclepedestrian overpasses; And whereas the 20172018-20192020 MOTI Service Plan includes a commitment to make life more affordable for British Columbians, and to build a strong, sustainable, innovative economy that works for everyone: Therefore be it resolved that the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure be compelled to retain and improve existing active transportation corridors and incorporate new active transportation corridors into all current and future highways projects.
