Not enough staff currently / another staff person starting
next week.
No round the clock parking control officers.
Complaints of snow being shoveled into handicapped
parking spaces.
Property Standards By-law has been updated and
approved by Council.
Some of the problems are that neighbours do not clear
sidewalks.
Snow issues (300 tickets issued over 3 days - actual)
Call by-law of any issues with snow removal
$300 fines (signs might be a good idea - money would
be recouped)
Would be a good thing to promote a 24-hour call In
system (would end up paying for itself)
Cars blocking sidewalks (if tires are on the sidewalk then
it is an infraction)
Bring issues to By-law's attention and they will respond
to. (Call in to Customer Care or Clerks and will be
forwarded to by-law.
