3. TOWN HALL AND QUESTIONS 
 
Five members of the public from Gabriola Island were present. 
 
Steven Earle – Village Vision planning committee, Gabriola Island. Village Vision has conducted a 
three year community led planning process which included the topic of roads. Steven spoke about 
the need for a renewal of the 1992 LOU with Islands Trust and MoTI on road standards and 
classification as he felt that the LOU limits what can be accomplished because of island road 
standards. He urged Islands Trust to work with MoTI to change the 1992 road standards 
agreements so that village areas can be made safe and welcoming to pedestrians, cyclists and 
motorists. They have met with MoTI to discuss their vision but MoTI is not able to accommodate 
their request due to the MOU. 
 
Howard Houle – Regional District of Nanaimo Director, Electoral Area B (Gabriola and Surrounding 
Islands). Howard indicated that the Regional District of Nanaimo is hoping for some resolution with 
MoTI in regards to road-side trail standards.
