Out front of my house is a bus stop, with full pad and additional front access pad. Immediate after this is the driveway of my house, which as remained in its exact same location for 70 years.

The sign for the bus stop *used* to be on the ‘stop’ side of my driveway. A number of years ago, Transit saw fit to move the sign to the far side of my driveway. In effect, the busy zone now encompasses my entire driveway access.

The bus drivers trying to give me #### for having a car in front of my driveway is one thing, and using my driveway as a pad in the wintertime despite me clearing the actual bus pad all winter is another.

But I have yet again received a ticket from CPA, and I have several requests in with Transit to relocate the sign to its original position or provide some sort of evidence that access to a private driveway is trumped by a sign. I have never received a follow up for this.


Is anyone familiar with the ins/outs of the traffic or land use bylaw? I’ve read and I don’t see any particular article that indicates that a bus zone can’t actually block a driveway. Maybe I’m in the wrong, and my driveway can actually be used as a bus stop, in which case I’ll pay the fine and leave snow clearing to the City. But I will be going to court to fight this one, as apparently no one at Transit can be bothered to respond other than to send a CPA agent to issue a ticket. If there’s a particular article that would prove my case, I’d be grateful.

Thank you.
