Wednesdays from 9:30 a.m. to noon, 101st Street in North Battleford has parking restriction signs for snow cleaning and street cleaning. I had business to do on 101st Street at around 10 a.m. I noticed the street had already been plowed so I parked and went into the business. The owner looked out the window and told me to move my car or I would get a ticket. I ran out and moved it. When I finally found a spot to park and returned we had quite a chat.
There was a bylaw enforcement officer driving up and down the street giving out parking tickets. The owner informs me the street was cleaned Tuesday? They plowed around vehicles parked leaving a terrible mess. Some had to shovel in order to get going.
So I'm wondering why? Why are these poor people getting tickets, I'm assuming they thought, “It’s plowed, should be OK.” I really don't think its fair at all for these people to be ticketed when the plow was out one full day earlier.
Be careful, watch the signs and have a great winter.
