WHEREAS many municipalities are facing increased traffic pressures as populations increase and some intersections are performing at a Level of Service LOS of E or F which represents a failing intersection; AND WHEREAS municipalities are often unable to finance improvements that would relieve the congestion at failing intersections: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Union of British Columbia Municipalities urge the Province of British Columbia to work with local governments to identify key intersections that are at major regional intersections performing at a LOS of E or F and provide funding for improvements to these failing intersections.
Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure does consider operational performance as a factor when making decisions with respect to future projects. As part of the North Fraser Perimeter Road project we are working with municipalities and Translink to identify challenges and potential solutions. The Ministry also continues to work with all parties on the long term transportation planning in the area. The Ministry would be looking to other major stakeholders such as developers and other levels of government to participate in funding once solutions have been developed and agreed to.
