Fox Creek requires permits for commercial vehicles
The Town of Fox Creek has introduced permits for commercial vehicles.
Under the Road Use Agreement Bylaw, permits range from $35 to $100 depending on the vehicle.
The town’s CAO Roy Dell says officials decided to enact this bylaw as a way to pay for road maintenance instead of the burden falling to the residents of Fox Creek in the form of taxes.
“We’ve been working extremely hard trying to keep it an asphalt or a relatively hard surface form, but it’s impossible.. When you have hundreds of trucks a day, probably thousands of trucks a day on it, it’s very hard to maintain because it’s really hard to shut down. It is a main road coming through town.”
