Who you gonna call??? Active transportation routes on the Sunshine Coast are a maze of jurisdictional responsibility. If you have a safety or other concern here’s a primer on where to direct it. Not sure where the boundaries are? Check out the map below. This detailed map can also help. In Gibsons, road and path works are undertaken by the Town of Gibsons Public Works and Parks Departments: 604-886-2274 (unless it’s on the “Highway” which is MOTI-see below) or info@gibsons.ca . In Sechelt, road and path works (other than on Sunshine Coast Hwy 101) are the responsibility of the District of Sechelt Public Works Department 604-885-1986 or info@sechelt.ca . On shíshalh/SIGD lands, Public Works can be reached at 604-740-5600. Roads not in these municipalities but within the Sunshine Coast Regional Districts’ five rural areas are the responsibility of the Provincial Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI), (not the SCRD). The Ministry has a contract with Capilano Highway Services for their upkeep. This includes all of Hwy 101 and all other rural roads on the Coast. There is currently no MOTI contact for the Sunshine Coast. Stay tuned for updates. Capilano Highway Services staff can be reached at 604-740-0667 or tyler.lambert@capilanohighways.ca or on Twitter @CapHwy. The SCRD has licence on some road allowances for trail building, call the SCRD Parks Department at 604-885-6802. Forest Service Roads are the purview of FLNRORD’s Sunshine Coast Natural Resource District (Powell River) (604)-485-0700 or Forests.SunshineCoastDistrictOffice@gov.bc.ca Of course political policy advocacy should be directed towards the appropriate elected representatives as well. (eg. our MLA for Provincial Ministry matters). TraC is always happy to be cc’d on such correspondence: info@transportationchoices.ca

Sunshine Coast Bike Route What is the Sunshine Coast Bike Route? The Sunshine Coast Bike Route (SCBR) is a TraC project in partnership with the Sunshine Coast Tourism Association, local government, the Powell River Cycling Association and the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The SC Bike Route is a designated bike-touring route linking the entire Sunshine Coast from Langdale to Powell River. It has been designed to draw more cycle tourists to the region, while also serving the needs of local cyclists. The more pedals on the road, the stronger the case for investment in bike lanes! Download the app The Sunshine Coast Bike route app is available for iPhone and contains everything cyclists need to enjoy a ride on the Coast: direct and scenic route options, hill profiles, restaurants and craft breweries and other sites of interest. Cyclists coming off the Langdale ferry are also greeted by a large Sunshine Coast Bike Route sign located in the overflow parking lot. The sign includes an overview map, directions on downloading the app, and custom made iron artwork. Local cycling tips Check out these local cycling tips . Sponsors TraC would like to thank the Sunshine Coast Community Foundation, Sunshine Coast Conservation Association, Sunshine Coast Cycling Association, BC Ferries, MOTI, TrailMapps, Phitted Designs, Beth Hawthorn Design, Tree Studios and countless volunteers for their time,
