### Background

Source pages: 21–22

## Background

Langford is becoming a popular area to host various events that require the use of public roadways. Currently event organizers are required to provide a permit application to Construct, Use and Maintain Works within a Roadway or Lane in order for the event to take place. The current permit application (Schedule C of Bylaw No. 33) is construction based and a large portion of the application does not apply to events.

The purpose of this report is to propose a few housekeeping edits to Bylaw No. 33 for council consideration.

### Commentary

Source pages: 21–22

## Commentary

Staff are suggesting the following amendments to the Traffic Bylaw:

1. Amend Schedule B “Application for Extraordinary Traffic Agreement” by replacing it with new schedule B “Special Event – Highway Use Application”

2. Traffic Bylaw No. 33 Schedule C is regularly used to permit various construction works within the road right of way. The application does not currently expire. Staff wish to add an expiration date to the approved permit. This will allow staff to finalise these construction projects more efficiently and ensure projects are not left incomplete for long periods of time. Amend Schedule C “Application to Construct, Use and Maintain Works within a Roadway or Lane” by adding an expiry date.
