The Juan de Fuca Marine Trail attracts thousands of people every year from around the world. But now, the poor beaten path is in dire need of upkeep.

B次元官网网址淭he trail is well loved,B次元官网网址� said Rosemary Jorna, an executive for the Juan de Fuca Community Trails Society, B次元官网网址渁nd it has been extremely frustrating how little money the previous [B.C. government] put in to it.B次元官网网址�

Premier John Horgan said plans are underway towards getting the trail, which was established in 1994 to commemorate the Commonwealth Games, some much needed maintenance and updates.

B次元官网网址淭his trail needs increased investment and attention, and I am committed to making it happen,B次元官网网址� Horgan said in a community report.

Jorna said the trail could use more staircases, boardwalks, and better drainage, as well as more money for extended maintenance each year to make the trail safer.

B次元官网网址淎ll parks and trails in the province have suffered severe neglect under the previous administration,B次元官网网址� Jorna said. B次元官网网址淭here is a lot of catchup of work that needs done.B次元官网网址�

She said there is maintenance done every year on the trail, but itB次元官网网址檚 insufficient for how much the trail is used.

B次元官网网址淚t was designed to take 100,000 people each year, but it definitely exceeds that,B次元官网网址� Jorna said.

Along with maintenance, Jorna hopes the trail will be protected from logging to preserve the ecology in the trail. There has already been some logging done along the trail.

B次元官网网址淚 feel it is important to protect the trail for the recreational value and wilderness experience it provides,B次元官网网址� Jorna said.
