The City of Yorkton is moving to fine tune its Traffic Bylaw.
The Traffic Bylaw No. 18/2016 came into effect in February 2017, which involved numerous changes from the previous Traffic Bylaw of 2000, explained Nicole Baptist, Assistant City Clerk, with the City at the regular meeting of Council last Monday.
鈥淚t is important to review the Bylaw again within the next one to two years to ensure the Bylaw is functioning properly and addressing concerns correctly,鈥 she said.
So updates are on occasion needed to address small things, said Baptist.
鈥淎dministration has completed a review of the Traffic Bylaw and identified some amendments to improve the clarity and address small clerical errors in the Bylaw. None of the proposed amendments look to change the intent of the Bylaw, merely to improve clarity,鈥 she said.
Council passed first reading Monday, with the next step to go to Public Notice, including advertisement in the local newspaper, at City Hall and on the City website.
The proposed amendment will be brought back to Council, for review and decision, in conjunction with the Public Hearing at the Nov. 19 council meeting.
