  The introduction of sidewalks into residential areas, where the primary storm water conveyance is via ditches and where off road snowfall accumulation is a necessity, is a topic that extends beyond a traffic calming issue.

Please report any violations you observe to Bylaw Services. The RCMP will also be notified to allow additional enforcement at this location.
