Parking bylaw (2024)
The purpose of this bylaw is to provide for the introduction of parking related restrictions and control the use of the road in order to:
- Maintain and improve the efficiency of the road network.
- Ensure the safe operation of the road network, including for pedestrians.
- Ensure that parking is available in areas of high demand and is turned over in sufficient frequency to meet with the demand.
- Manage heavy motor vehicle use and parking within townships.
- Ensure loading areas are available for commercial use.
- Control the storage of items and vehicles on roads.
