Off street parking only for trailers, campers, RVs
If you have an RV, camper, boat or trailer you are asked to please find another place to park them when not in use, other than a city street. That is the message from Bylaw Services with the City of Cranbrook.
City Bylaw Services staff fields numerous complaints on a regular basis each spring and summer relating to trailers blocking driveways and using limited on street parking for long periods of time.
“Enforcement of this bylaw is generally complaint driven,” says Naomi Humenny, Bylaw Services Officer for the City of Cranbrook. “Citizens of Cranbrook are generally following the bylaw. This time of year is good to get out the reminder, especially now with spring and camping season beginning.”
The bylaw prohibits parking recreational vehicles and trailers on residential streets between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. and prohibits parking unattached trailers on any street at any time, unless in an emergency situation. The bylaw applies to travel trailers, tent trailers, campers and motor homes as well as boats and boats on trailers. The intent of the regulation is to keep city streets safe and accessible for vehicular and pedestrian use.
