City makes it harder for truckers to park
WELLAND, Ont. (Jan. 17, 2005) — The City of Welland, Ont. near Niagara Falls voted to expand its ban on heavy-trucks on residential roadways.
City councillors amended the old bylaw and increased the number of restricted roads from 19 to over 200 local streets.
Truckers are allowed to make deliveries, but will be fined $110 if they’re stopped or parked for any other reason.
Councillor Dan Beaudoin voted against the move saying local truckers should be able to purchase a permit to park their trucks in the city if they have allowable space.
He suggested another option staff should examine is for the city to purchase a parking lot where drivers would pay a monthly fee for parking.
