The City of Fernie has begun a spring campaign to educate and enforce community compliance on encroachment issues that could significantly impact the quality and safety of public land, following a decision at Monday’s (Apr. 26) council meeting.
“Encroachments have the potential to create safety issues, damage infrastructure and ultimately cost taxpayers money,” said Bylaw Enforcement Officer Camille Neal.
High-priority sites will be addressed first, including the areas in and around the Annex Dike System.
“Residents will be educated by the city about the impacts of encroachments. A follow-up enforcement plan will be issued specific to the Annex Dike and area north of the lots along Mount Minton Street and west of the lots along Mount Proctor Avenue as an initial pilot,” said Neal’s report.
