Eric. just browsed your city web-site and came accross this ......WINTER PARKING BAN
BEGAN DECEMBER 1
Parking is prohibited on City streets from 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. to ensure that snowplows can effectively respond to winter weather events. Car owners who defy the bylaw, risk a fine of up to $40, or possibly having their vehicle towed. Residents are also reminded that parking in the middle of a cul-de-sac is prohibited at all times. The parking prohibition remains in place until the end of March, 2009.

Question , does this apply to all streets or just main streets ?, how do residents who have no off street parking available manage .
just curious

Re: weather??
 

This applies to all streets ... it is a necessary bylaw, as most of the plowing and sanding is done between 1 and 7 in order not to interfere with traffic .... the roads are plowed promptly, and the snow build up is trucked out. And I don't really know of anyone who has no off-street parking ... houses have driveways, and apt. buidings have lots, or underground parking, with spaces for visitors (you know, if you get lucky and she invites you over to her place);)

I have been reminded many times that this site is designed to promote local issues to Accy and surrounding districts.
Of what interest is it to Accyweb members if some Cowboy gets done $40
for a traffic violation in the Americas?
Apply for a thread to the powers that be that focuses on American issues and I am sure it will be considered, though I don't think it will create much interest.

Re: weather??
 

Well, seemingly its of enough interest to two Accy-web users , myself who asked a question and the person who replied , obviously some folks who, maybe being in the early stages of senility (ignorance being one symptom, bad manners another) have no interest .:dummy:

Well, I guess anti-Americanism is alive and flourishing in sunny Spain ... And I don't mean anti-Bushism, which many people subscribe to, millions of them in the US ... I mean that irrational bias against a truly great republic, based on a denial of all the good that it stands for, and a stressing of the negative. And I seem to remember several well attended threads on the drama of the American Presidential election ...

Canada and the US have many points on which they disagree; but, we are so close as friendly neighbours that I can still cross the border without a passport. All I have to do is show my current Ontario driver's licence.

On the edge of senilty I maybe but daft I am not.
In the words of a well known historian: and a well know saying from the ones in the know.
