British Columbia stakeholders protest Incomappleux forest road closure

Incomappleux Forest Service Road road deactivation British Columbia public safety stakeholder protest

The British Columbia government is moving to permanently close the Incomappleux Forest Service Road (FSR) near Trout Lake. The road, which provides access to homes and runs toward Glacier National Park, is slated for deactivation due to public safety concerns. Ministry of Forests engineers recommended the closure following a 2006 rockfall that compromised a crevice bridge, and officials stated that sufficient funds are unavailable for necessary maintenance.

In response, a coalition of property owners, backcountry users, industry representatives, and environmentalists has organized to oppose the decision. The group, which has been meeting monthly for two years, argues there is a strong rationale for keeping the road accessible and claims there has been a lack of meaningful consultation with stakeholders. Advocates are currently pushing for a pause on the deactivation process, supported by a petition signed by thousands of people.
