Why We Need TIRRA...
Saturday, February 8, 2025 at 8:22AM The TIRRA Transportation Committee
Why do we need this?
The BC Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure (MOTI) are responsible for, and arrange contracts for, the maintenance of all highways in BC. Their priorities are the main most used roads in the province. So the roads on Thetis tend to get ignored until something major happens. The TIRRA Transportation committee can establish good relations with the local MOTI manager and maintain a dialog with him/her that results in them taking a greater interest in the needs on Thetis Island, with positive results regarding yellow line painting, verge mowing, repairs and resurfacing.
The Transportation committee also embraces relations with BC Ferries, and now that BC Ferries have disbanded the Ferry Advisory Committees, this continuing liaison/advocacy through TIRRA is more important than ever.
Again - imagine life on Thetis without anyone to keep an eye on these basic needs?
Another in the series of short notes on what TIRRA does for us all, and why we need it.
Thank you for reading,
