CRAIK—In response to concerns brought toward the town council, a new traffic bylaw was enacted to permit installation and enforcement of two handicapped parking stalls in the community.
During the March 11 Town Council meeting, members addressed a request for handicapped parking to be made available in front of the Craik Community Hall entrance on 3rd street.
Some councillors questioned if additional stalls would be required in front of businesses along 3rd street. After discussion, it was accepted that people typically park for a short periods of time in front of the businesses and that people would be willing to ‘drive around the block’ or visit another business before attempting to park again.
The two handicapped parking stalls and signage are to be installed at both sides of the existing ramp directly in front of the community hall. The bylaw, entitled 2015-01 The Traffic Bylaw, was passed unanimously and was effective immediately.
