Calls are returning from Vancouver Island's west coast communities for a Drive BC camera at Sutton Pass after snow problems on Highway 4.

When Rachel Soer and her husband left Tofino for Nanaimo Tuesday, they had no idea their commute would be so long.

She’s among those who believe a Drive BC camera on Sutton Pass should be re-installed so drivers have a better idea if they should travel. “It’s a huge problem. There are other webcams that you can look at but Sutton Pass, that’s the bad section,” said Marilyn McEwen. The transportation ministry says it will look again at putting a web camera at Sutton Pass, citing power as a challenge for its operation. As for the contractor all its west coast equipment was in use Tuesday.
