Petition to the House of Commons
  Whereas:
  
    The Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) in Yoho National Park is under federal jurisdiction for maintenance, upgrades, and safety;
    Average daily traffic volume in Yoho National Park reaches at least 7,500 vehicles per day; and
    The Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) through Yoho National Park is one of the most dangerous sections of highway in Canada for humans (nine people killed in motor vehicle incidents in 2022) and wildlife.
  
  
    We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:
    1) Provide the funding to "twin" Highway 1 through Yoho National Park, upgrading it from a two-lane highway to a four-lane highway, in order to increase safety for the growing number of vehicles that use this highway for travel and commerce; and
    2) Provide funding to create wildlife overpasses/underpasses and fencing along Highway 1 through Yoho National Park while "twinning" construction of Highway 1 occurs to ensure the safety of wildlife and people along the highway.
