North Vancouver Tightens RV Parking Rules

It's May 3rd. I'm Corey with The Story, and this is Canada News Today, your AI-powered

local news. A year after launching a crackdown on oversized RVs parked on streets in North

Vancouver's district, they're ramping up restrictions again in the Pemberton Business

Zone. Officials are adding two and four-hour parking limits on certain blocks and no stopping

rules along West First Street to curb folks using these. Vehicles as homes. The problem

has been around for years near Pemberton and Lloyd Avenues, with RVs popping up as temporary

or full-time housing. Last year's efforts cut numbers in spots like lower McCoy Creek,

but repeat offenders just shuffle across boundaries or circle back within time. Limits.

Local businesses are feeling the daily strain from people living in these rigs, and council

members agree more rules make sense as a next step.

After Jordan Back noted, the changes have helped, but not fixed everything, stressing

coordination with nearby North Vancouver City across the Creek.

Counselors like Jim Hanson push for provincial help on homelessness, suggesting designated

spots with sanitation and security, cheaper and faster than. New housing.

Survey show a mix, workers from C-SPAN or construction sites, the homeless even tourist

via apps as council released a myri called these tough times. With no quick fix, signs

for the new zones on Pemberton, Lloyd, West First, West Third, and Welch Streets go up next

week, with by-law enforcement kicking in June. First hoping to ease the pressure without

just shifting it elsewhere.
