A Friday explanation of the City of Prince Rupert's Traffic Control Bylaw probably was designed to provide some background information on how the Bylaw works as well as view of some elements of parking in the community.
But along the way it appears to have lit a spark on a flow of commentary, suggestions and even calls for additional enforcement for a number of areas around the city.
The comments section for the City's own Facebook page provides for one sample group for comment,; while an echo for the City's notes on another Social Media page in the community, delivers another round of feedback.
Among some of the commentary, a suggestion that the current Bylaw doesn't meet the expectations of residents and the neighbourhoods that they live in.
Should Council be considering updating the Bylaw to address some of the concerns that councillors have raised in the past, such as annoyances as uninsured cars, trailers and motor homes parked endlessly on city streets, the consultation process for any new bylaw is pretty extensive and now available through their social media stream.
"We've got to find an alternative for these motorhomes, trucks, boats and everything else on the streets, we get them off the streets we've solved a big parking problem. You know we've got to find an alternative to that, I brought up the B Mill pulping shed at the mill there, the roof needs to be fixed ... " -- Councillor Barry Cunningham on the topic of on street parking issues and a potential solution from April of 2021
The problem of vehicles that never move became rather glaring over the recent bout of winter weather, with the city's crews having to swerve around them as the plowed the roads or more recently have started to sweep them.
