vitality of local communities and the economy. The area has three major rail lines (Canadian National, Canadian Pacific and BC Rail).<\/p>\n<p>Local communities depend heavily on the condition of major access routes. Due to rugged terrain, many roads are narrow, winding or steep. Some are prone to rockslides or avalanches. Construction and maintenance costs are high.<\/p>\n<p>Future improvements to transportation infrastructure will depend on, and contribute to, continued development of the area\u2019s forest, agricultural, mineral, tourism and other resources.<\/p>\n<h4>Issues:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Planning needs to address long-term requirements for new transportation corridors as land use patterns change.<\/li>\n<li>First Nations seek participation in transportation infrastructure planning in order to incorporate their land uses and practices and gain access to land and resources.<\/li>\n<li>Aesthetic and environmental values need to be considered in transportation corridor planning.<\/li>\n<li>Resource managers often fail to recognize the need to modify or improve existing transportation corridors.<\/li>\n<li>Jurisdiction over some roads is in dispute and needs resolution.<\/li>\n<li>Economical sources of gravel for road maintenance and construction are scarce. Securing existing and future resources is an ongoing challenge.<\/li>\n<li>Communities and road users want to be better informed about road development planning as well as construction and maintenance schedules.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Goals:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>An efficient and effective transportation and communication infrastructure that balances economic, environmental and community values<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-1898-0-2\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1898-0-2-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_nav_menu panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1898-0-2-0\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Access and Transportation<\/h3><ul id=\"menu-access-and-transportation\" class=\"menu\"><li  class=\"menu-access-and-trails sf-dropdown menu-item-2942 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/community-sections\/access-and-transportation\/access-and-trails\/\"><span>Access and Trails<\/span><\/a>\n<ul class=\"sub-menu sf-dropdown-menu dropdown\">\n\t<li  class=\"menu-slim-mine-tourism-zone menu-item-2911 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/community-sections\/access-and-transportation\/access-and-trails\/slim-mine-tourism-zone\/\"><span>Slim Mine Tourism Zone<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\t<li  class=\"menu-eldorado-mine-tourism-zone menu-item-2914 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/community-sections\/access-and-transportation\/access-and-trails\/eldorado-mine-tourism-zone\/\"><span>Eldorado Mine Tourism Zone<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\t<li  class=\"menu-paradise-mine-tourism-zone menu-item-2917 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/community-sections\/access-and-transportation\/access-and-trails\/paradise-mine-tourism-zone\/\"><span>Paradise Mine Tourism Zone<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-transportation menu-item-2014 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/community-sections\/access-and-transportation\/transportation\/\"><span>Transportation<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-1898-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-1898-1\" ><div id=\"pgc-1898-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1898-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-1898-1-0-0\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<table style=\"width:100%\">\n<p>\t<!-- TITLE BAR --><\/p>\n<tr>\n<th>Objectives<\/th>\n<th>Management Direction\/Strategies<\/th>\n<th>Measures of Success\/Targets<\/th>\n<th>Intent<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<p>\t<!-- ROW --><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"2\">1.
