We could see much stricter enforcement of the parking regulations at the P.C.U. Centre, effective immediately.

Portage la Prairie City Council wants to see a crackdown on illegal parking. In January, a by-law was passed allowing for tickets to be given to vehicles that are left along the Royal Road causeway. Signs are also in place indicating exactly where you can and cannot park. However, drivers continue to use it as an impromptu parking lot.

Council is concerned because this is a safety issue, as emergency vehicles that would use the causeway may be slowed down by the congestion.  The area is managed by the P.R.R.A., although the R.C.M.P. have also been alerted to the situation.
