Taber Council Eyes Truck Parking Reforms on 47th Avenue
At the January 24 meeting, Town of Taber planning chief Jim Coughlin proposed bylaw changes to bar truck tractor parking on the north side of 47th Avenue between 54th and 57th streets and limit south side parking to two hours. He also urged highway turnouts and signs at key Highway 3 intersections and said new developments should provide off street truck parking. Some councillors doubted the scope, but the motion to proceed was passed.
