Analysis Background Upon transfer of certain Regional roads to the jurisdiction of the Town of Fort Erie the Consolidated Traffic By-law 2000-89 was not amended to include the parking restrictions on the transferred roads. At the Traffic Coordinating Committee meetings of October 25, 2005 and February 28, 2006 it was recommended that the roads in question be reviewed to see what signage was in place and what signage and/or changes to the existing by-laws were required. Appendices A, B and C to this report are the results of the review and indicate changes necessary to the existing by-law to be consistent with signage in place and signage necessary. Financial/Staffing Implications Funds for signage have been allocated in the 2007 Budget. Signs will be purchased and installed by Town Operations Staff.
