During spring and summer residents often bring their recreational vehicles and utility trailers into the town, be advised of the following.  Under Traffic Bylaw 06-18 Section 1304, No person is allowed to have an unattached trailer parked on any street within the Town limits.  The Trailer must be attached to a Motor Vehicle at all times.  The fine for having an unattached trailer on a street is $50.00 for the first offence and $100.00 for each offence after that.

 It should also be noted that under Land Use Bylaw #89-20 (section 61. (4) page 9 of 9) No trailer or RV can remain in a front yard / drive for more than 72 hours in any 168 hour period unless a tourist is staying in the unit.  If this is the case then it can stay in the front yard/drive for a maximum of 72 hours in any 168 hour period.  This also includes any utility trailer or boat trailer over 1.5 meters in height.

Also, a reminder to residents of the requirement for registration and insurance of motor vehicles.  Any vehicle parked on a street within the Town of Strathmore must have a valid registration certificate, as well as a valid License Plate attached to it.  The fine for this is $250.00, and the vehicle can be removed from the street at the owner’s expense. Vehicles parked on streets also must have valid insurance coverage on them.  The fine for not having insurance on a vehicle is $2875.00 and again, the vehicle may be removed at the owner’s expense.  This includes back alleys.
