North Cowichan council voted in favour of larger fines for towing and impounding large vehicles parked past allowed times on municipal streets.
Frequent policing of people living in their vehicles could drive them further underground, says a housing advocate after North Cowichan council passed new towing rules for campers and recreational vehicles that exceed their allotted time on municipal streets.
Council heard that numerous complaints have come in from businesses and residents about illegally parked recreational vehicles. The new rates are not yet set. North Cowichan staff are looking at options to contract out the service. Some park in big-box-store parking lots, she said, while others go to more remote places such as fields, backyards and private lots. “There are indications of it all over our communities if we just open our eyes.”
Point in time figures are typically lower than the actual number because not everyone was counted — including those living in vehicles or sleeping on couches.
