A reminder to residents to display your resident parking permit clearly in your vehicle if you park in lower Kelvin Grove.  The Village has contracted with Mitchell's Towing to tow anyone illegally parked in the area.  Towed cars will be taken to North Vancouver.  Nobody wants this to happen to our own residents, but it may, if your vehicle does not have a resident parking permit prominently displayed.
 
Legal "resident parking" spots in the parking lot at Kelvin Grove include all of the parking spots on the west (ocean) side, which is most of the parking lot.  Also please be aware of the new "handicapped parking only" spot nearest to Tidewater.
 
Towing in lower Kelvin Grove is part of a "get tough" policy aimed at calming the problems created by a growing number of youthful visitors from outside Lions Bay who park in the area and walk illegally along the railway tracks to access a cliff jump some way out of the Village. The Village is working with CN and the RCMP to deal with the problems this site creates.
 
Council will be closely monitoring the impact of the new parking initiatives.
