Parking on one side of street – Council passed a by-law to update the current Traffic Bylaw 078-2005 to incorporate the parking restrictions for one side of local streets in residential areas. Two locations will remain unaffected: Mill Street between Broadway and Armstrong Street, and Young Court east of the entrance feature. Generally, the new parking restrictions have been placed on the side of the road that have fire hydrants. Where parking is already restricted on both sides of the street, those restrictions have been maintained.

The new signs will be “bagged” until all of the new signs are in place. Then the bags will be removed and enforcement will commence in all of the new areas at once. No enforcement of the new restrictions will take place until November 1, 2022, after all of the appropriate signage has been installed and the bags have been removed.
