Provincial
Cycling Strategy
Recommendations from the British Columbia Cycling Coalition - 2008-03-02
Introduction
The British Columbia Cycling Coalition (BCCC) commends the Government
of British Columbia for its
commitment for developing the Provincial Cycling Strategy. We are pleased
to offer our recommendations for
the Provincial Cycling Strategy for consideration for potential policies,
directions, and for funding.
Soaring Eagle Cycling Routes Proposal
Cyclists - Your Input is Request
by February 29, 2008
A few months ago, the
British Columbia Cycling Coalition (BCCC) approached the BC Government
and proposed a provincial-wide network of cycling routes aimed at encouraging
touring cycling within the province. BC’s Soaring Eagle Cycling
Routes has been the working title for this proposal by the BCCC.
BCCC’s proposal was inspired by Québec’s very successful provincial-wide touring cycling network called “La Route Verte” (http://www.routeverte.com/rv/ang/ ). With such spectacular scenery, why does this province not have such capabilities for touring cycling?
The province has shown interest in the concept and has asked the BCCC to propose routes in three areas within the province:
To date, some work has been done on gathering input for interesting routes.
Now, you are being called on for your suggestions for these three areas. Your input before February 29 would be much appreciated.
BCCC - Coquitlam Cycling Connector
On November 22, 2007 and in support of the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition (VACC), the BCCC has made a submission to the Minister of Transportation, Kevin Falcon requesting that the government add the Coquitlam Cycling Connector to the Gateway Project.

As usual, it would be useful to send your thoughts and maybe your support of the BCCC letter to the Minister of Transportation
BCCC - Revitalizing the Organization
On January 19, the BCCC Board will be continuing the dialogue on revitalizing the BCCC.
Originally at the AGM in June, a discussion paper on this topic was presented to the membership. Since then, the Board has been working on the document at Board meetings in August and November, and at a planning meeting in October.
At the next meeting of the Board, the discussion will continue to focus on the organizational structure for the future.
Two discussion papers have been updated and may be accessed with the
links below.

The BCCC revitalization discussion and shaping the organization for the next years needs to consider BCCC representation throughout the province, not just in built up areas in the Lower Mainland and the southern part of Vancouver Island. Representation in regions throughout this province with small cities and towns, where most of the provincial highways are located, needs special consideration.
What role should the BCCC consider taking on in developing or assisting
the evolution of local advocacy capability in towns and small cities?
This local advocacy could be directed at the cycling environment within
the towns or cities, on highways in the region, or both. In the discussion
three models need to be considered, at least
