We value your feedback.
The Town is seeking community feedback on a proposed refresh of the Traffic Bylaw, which would revise and replace the current 2019 bylaw that is in need of several updates. We want to hear from the community on the critical regulations of bylaws that ensure the safety, health, and well-being of residents and businesses. While municipalities generally have very similar regulations in this area, it is not standardized outside of areas where the provincial Traffic Safety Act applies; there is latitude for different focuses around compliance and enforcement based on community needs. The Municipal Government Act does not mandate a public hearing for this type of bylaw; however, this process allows the Council to collect feedback from the public in line with its Public Participation Policy.
Please consider reading entire document as some sections may be more relevant to you than others. However, we have provided a summary of the draft bylaw's changes.
PURPOSE:
REGULATING THE USE OF HIGHWAYS UNDER THE DIRECTION, CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT OF THE MUNCIPALITY AND THE PARKING OF VEHICLES ON SUCH HIGHWAYS AND ON PRIVATELY OWNED PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE MUNICIPALITY.
Please review the summary document and draft bylaw then submit your comments by January 5th 2026 . These will be compiled and sent back to the Council for further discussion. All suggestions can be sent to communications@nanton.ca or submitted via the website form.
