N.B. approves changes to tighten parking bylaw regulations
North Battleford drivers hoping to land some extra hours to park downtown will want to change their plans now that the city has made its traffic bylaw more stringent.
Council approved amending the traffic bylaw at its meeting Monday to prohibit drivers from parking for the two- hour time limit where indicated, then moving their vehicles to another spot on the same block for on-street parking, or to another stall for off-street parking, essentially to beat the clock and possibly a ticket.
The bylaw also indicates people parking in permit parking spots must make their permit visible on the dash.
“These changes were recommended by administration earlier this summer season,” Bater said following the meeting. “There have been a lot of changes within the downtown parking regime which is all facilitated by additional economic development downtown.”
