On street parking around EKRH prohibited Dec. 1
On street parking around East Kootenay Regional Hospital will be prohibited as of Dec. 1.
City of Cranbrook council resolved in November 2009 to prohibit parking in these areas from December 1 to March 31 every year, due to traffic congestion. The parking prohibition covers 24th Avenue South from 2nd Street South to 1st Street South, and 23rd Avenue North from 2nd Street North to 4th Street North (pictured above).
These restrictions are required to ensure free flow of traffic to and from the hospital, particularly for emergency vehicles, because of snowbanks that are left by snow plowing activities.
This location will be patrolled on a regular basis by Bylaw Services, regardless of the weather or road conditions. The prescribed fine for being unlawfully parked in the posted area is $25, the city noted.
