A bylaw change addressing the
parking woes of some local
individuals is close at hand, but

the traffic woes of the- majority
driving or walking city streets is
going into its third — or is it the
tenth? — year of talks,

As for parking, final adoption

by Terrace city council of an —

amendment to the Street and
Traffic Bylaw is expected soon
that will double the’ allowable
parking time on downtown
Streets for seniors. A placard
will be issued by the city that
when hung from the rear view
mirror will allow seniors’
vehicles to remain parked for up
to 30 minutes in 15 minute
zones, and two hours in one
_ hour parking zones,

The same bylaw amendment,
which received third reading in
council Monday night, will
address the parking needs of
handicapped persons. City-issued
placards .will be available for

required placard towed away.

will require the. written. per-

mission of the parking lot
owner. But that is not expected

addressed in the same bylaw
amendment involve snow. It will
allow the city to issue tickets to
people who deposit snow on
sidewalks or streets, us when
home owners or businesses push
snow out of their driveways.

Also, parking on city streets
that have been advertised: for
routine snow removal on a spec-
ified day will be penalized with
either a ticket or removal of the
vehicle by a tow truck.

And that brings us to traffic
concerns. There’s nothing new
on council’s plate. And follow-
