Show courtesy when parking in Williams Lake

Courtesy of the City of Williams Lake:

The City of Williams Lake would like to remind residents to be courteous and respectful of their neighbours and City operations when it comes to on-street parking.

There are several areas that residents are able to park on streets, without restrictions other than you must be parked no longer than 48 hours in a residential area, unless otherwise posted. To maintain this convenience to our residents, it is respectful to your neighbors to be courteous about where you park, how long you park and what impact this may have in your area. Along with the Traffic Control Bylaws in place, this will be enforced if a violation is noted.

Every resident wants their garbage and recycling collected on their day. Often times the Bylaw Department is called to deal with individuals that cannot get their carts to the curb due to vehicles parked and impeding the garbage pickup. And with winter approaching, the City crews appreciate that the City of Williams Lake residents take into account that in order for the snow removal to be accomplished effectively and efficiently, vehicles must not park in a position that causes it to interfere with the removal of snow.

By being aware of where and for how long you park, you can make a great difference for your neighbours and those collecting garbage and recycling and plowing the streets. Your courtesy goes a long way.

For more information, call the City at 250-392-2311.
