The Province insists our Highway is adequate until at least 2050: Our petition argues otherwise. Do you agree?

THE SUNSHINE COAST NEEDS A HIGHWAY!
To the Honourable the Legislative Assembly of the Province of British Columbia,
in Legislature Assembled :
The petition of the undersigned and the attached residents of the Province of
British Columbia states that:
WHEREAS:
1. The capacity of the roadway known as Highway 101 is inadequate for traffic
volumes at many times each day throughout the year and will only get
worse in the future.
2. Accidents and fatalities are above the provincial average due to the
combination of hundreds of residential driveways, uncontrolled crossings,
surge volumes of traffic, commercial, industrial and other heavy vehicles,
school buses, garbage trucks and people rushing to get to ferries,
3. Improvements to the existing two-lane road are not possible in many
areas and particularly from the two-lane Chapman Creek Bridge in Wilson
Creek through the scenic parkway adjacent to the Davis Bay beach, along
the very narrow residential area in Selma Park and onwards through
downtown Sechelt to west Sechelt.
4. There are many ancillary benefits to a new highway including faster” more
reliable response times for first responders, a firebreak in case of wildfires,
enhanced traffic safety, including a second crossing over Chapman Creek,
more efficient and sustainable transportation and the potential for
additional services and developments along the new route.
5. Further delays in building this real highway will only result in higher costs
while harming the quality of life for residents and tourists on the Coast.
Your petitioners herein and attached respectfully request that the Honourable
House support the construction of a new highway as a matter of considerable
urgency.
