Parking in Alleys
Parking in alleys continues to be an issue in Turner Valley. The Traffic Bylaw prohibits the parking of vehicles/trailers, in the alley/laneways. Frequently, these vehicles are not insured or registered. The bylaw is designed to protect the residents allowing the obstructed access to emergency and public works vehicles.
All residents are requested to remove their vehicles/trailers from alleys or ensure their vehicle does not encroach in the alley. Because an alley is classified as a “highway” under the Traffic Safety Act, any unregistered vehicles/trailers will be towed at the owner’s expense.
Leashing Pets
All dog owners are reminded that their animal must be leashed when the animal is off the owner’s property.
Turner Valley Patrol has recently received resident complaints about animals running at large. Your animal must be under direct control, unfortunately “direct control” requires the dog must be leashed when in public.
Trailer Parking
Turner Valley Patrol wishes to remind residents that own recreational vehicles travel trailers about off-season parking of these vehicles. Section 41 of the Turner Valley Traffic Bylaw restricts the parking of recreational vehicles travel trailers on the street from October 1st to May 1st. If you are going to be doing some winter camping, the vehicle/trailer cannot be parked on the street for a period not exceeding 48 hours, and all trailers on the street must be attached to a vehicle at all times.
If you have to store your vehicle/trailer on your property, please remember that no part of the vehicle/trailer may encroach upon public property(streets/sidewalks) and that the vehicle/trailer should be parked on a parking pad or driveway, so not to contravene the Unsightly Premises Bylaw.
Should you have any questions about this bylaw or any other bylaw in Turner Valley, please contact Patrol Services.
