WL Council, after numerous complaints regarding Boulevard Parking Restrictions under Traffic Control Bylaw #2093, 2009, will be hosting a Public Input Session on this topic in Council Chambers on Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 at 7:00pm
Quoted hereunder is the entire Press Release from the City:
The City of Williams Lake would like to inform residents of the new Bylaw regarding Boulevard Parking. Traffic Control Bylaw No 2093, states that:
“No person shall park or store a chattel, obstruction, or vehicle on any City owned boulevard within the City.”
Boulevard is defined as:
“that portion of a highway between the curb lines or the lateral lines of a roadway and the adjoining property or roadway and includes curbs, sidewalks and ditches.”
This bylaw was adopted by the City of Williams Lake on July 28, 2009 in order to address the following issues:
* safe snow removal
* desirable neighbourhoods free of unsightly property
* clear visible sight lines around corners and intersections providing for safe walking, biking and driving.
On October 16, 2009, The City of Williams Lake began a targeted campaign to educate residents on the boulevard bylaw. Information was included in the City Pages to inform all residents of this bylaw. In addition, letters were distributed the week of November 9, to those residents who either had clearly defined vehicles parked on their boulevard or actual built structures on the boulevard.
As a result of numerous complaints and concerns raised regarding the restriction on Boulevard Parking under Traffic Control Bylaw No. 2093, Council will receive public delegations or submissions during the Committee of Whole Council meeting at 7:00 pm, Tuesday, November 24, 2009 in Council Chambers.
