RE: Holiday Season 2021 - Street Use Limitations in Commercial Areas
Please note that to continue to support businesses the City will be limiting the number of street use requests granted in commercial areas from December 6, 2021 to January 2, 2022.
December is a historically busy month for commercial areas with increased traffic to local stores, restaurants and attractions. As demand for street space increases during the holiday period, these restrictions will also help to support businesses through their recovery from COVID-19.
The City recognizes that there is still the need for critical infrastructure upgrades, utility work and ongoing construction work at development sites, but efforts should be made at this time to schedule accordingly. Please be advised that time sensitive requests for street use will still be considered. However, the City will weigh and consider all factors before specific street use decisions are made.
We thank you in advance for your understanding. Your cooperation will help us facilitate another smooth holiday season for all.
Sincerely,
Margaret Wittgens on behalf of Lon LaClaire, P.Eng General Manager of Engineering Services
