A number of committee members pointed out that, as there are initiatives to improve the highway system, there should also be initiatives to improve community access roads, especially to gravel sources.

Some committee members pointed out that community access roads that lead to gravel sites are particularly underfunded. For example, to build a gravel access road, the community requires gravel, but without ready access to a gravel source, a road is costly, if not difficult to build. Gravel access roads are distinct and have unique requirements compared to community access roads that lead to historical, harvesting or recreational sites.
