District of Elkford Council approved Bylaw No. 735, 2012, ‘A Bylaw to Amend District of Elkford Traffic and Streets Bylaw No. 425, 1994’ at the November 13 meeting.

The district is unable to deliver the best level of service when vehicles are parked on highways, roadways or lanes. The district asks you to please park your vehicle(s) in your driveway or parking lot, as empty roadways allow snow plows to do a better job and ensures room for sanding equipment to cover more space.

To achieve efficiencies in snow removal and to reduce unequal windrow distribution while plowing, on-street parking will be prohibited from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., October 1 to March 31. Parking on the street during snow plowing, snow removal, snow hauling, or sanding operations is prohibited. It is also an offence to push, place or throw any snow or ice upon a highway or lane.

The District of Elkford will be actively working with residents to inform and ensure compliance with this new bylaw, as the intent of these changes is to increase the efficiency of snow removal within the community.
