Brad McDougall paid $80 after parking his truck on the lawn to avoid sweepers, only to get fined anyway. He’s not alone: neighbors are rallying behind him, saying the 8 AM to 4 PM parking ban is impossible to follow, especially when garbage day overlaps. City officials admit parking is tough, but stand by the rules—claiming sweepers might return. Councillor Dan McLean says he’s looking into tweaks, including adjusting garbage schedules or fine amounts, as residents push back and demand change.
