Fire Hydrant "No Parking" Zones – Councillors Mack & White

RECOMMENDATION:

WHEREAS faster response from the LCFRS allows for quicker containment of fires, saves lives and minimizes property damage;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council direct staff to investigate and report back on the cost to reinstate identification of fire hydrant “no parking” zones with a high visibility paint, with a special focus on non lead-based paint options;

AND THAT Council direct staff to investigate and report back on the cost and viability of installing signage in problematic locations to offer an alternative permanent visual cue to identify the location of fire hydrants;
