There are rules regarding on-street parking during the winter


NO PARKING ON STREETS DURING SNOW EVENTS.
It's the law.
There is no legal on-street parking during the winter months. And it's a major problem in our neighbourhood. No safe off-road parking areas exist. Our roads are too narrow and restricted and the plow needs to get through.

I've been advised that neighbours have called the City's 311 line to complain about the lack of snow clearing from David Dunlap Circle and Jessie Drive.

WARNING: this may mean that cars will be ticketed and could be towed.

Please also be aware of neighbours trying to back out of their driveways, snow banks create restricted lines of vision. Those backing out are blind.

Also, those who are parking in the boulevard restrict the ability of the snow plow to do their job. They cannot push snow tightly back as they fear hitting the parked car.

More complaints will mean more tickets.

Coyotes spotted in the neighbourhood

Our neighbour that lives in one of the semis on the extension of Moccasin Train east of Nob Lane, has sent in this report.

Lorraine reported that last night at 8:30 my husband was walking our dog and he came across 2 Coyotes on the path to the school.....he stomped his feet and they didnt approach they ran off .

At 9:00 pm we watched two coyotes (from our living room window) trot up moccasin trail street ....

They must be hungry to come out of the valley, there was two of them together and they looked whiteish in colour and the size of a medium dog

Advise people to keep their dogs close to them and the little dogs on a leash ...and becareful when letting your dog out in your backyard at night
