Emergency representatives will also be on hand to discuss the importance of the program in delivering timely emergency (ambulance, fire, police) services in the affected area.

All residents in the area are invited to pick up a survey and complete it at the information session on February 2.
Background: In September 2015, a public consultation was held to invite feedback from residents affected in the area of the proposed permit parking program. On April 4, 2016, Council considered a number of recommendations. On June 27, 2016, the following motion was approved:
#5521 – 2016 Traffic Bylaw Amendment (No. 3) 476d THAT Bylaw No. 5521, 2016 Traffic Bylaw Amendment (No. 3) be tabled pending a public information session with residents who are directly affected in the pilot area.
The amendment would have authorized parking on one side of the street only. Temporary parking permits will also be available during the proposed pilot period.
Any questions or concerns can be directed to the Engineering department at 306-694-4448.
