Residents in the Burntwood Trailer Court area are already experiencing a downside to the warmer weather.

Drivers of ATVs, mini-bikes and side-by-sides have been up and down Mid Road in the early morning and late at night, disturbing residents with the noise.

On City Beat Thursday, Mayor Colleen Smook said the city would ask RCMP to step up patrols around parks and school yards to dissuade anyone from using those areas for riding their off-road vehicles.

She also provided details about the city noise by-law.

“The noise by-law restricts construction, renovation, activities and even the use of noisy machinery like lawnmowers and such, prior to 7am and after 10pm.”  

Smook added that residents will likely be hearing loud noise coming from pile driving taking place around the TRCC.

It’s part of the construction for the foundation of the new Aquatic Centre.
