Taxi bylaws are getting some lower tier approval

Two county bylaws that have been in the works for several years were passed by Mapleton coun­cil last week.

 

A taxi bylaw to regulate any local cab companies, was de­layed because OPP officials said they would not be administering it. That job is now being taken on by county officials.

The anti-fortification bylaw to deter the fortifying of buildings by possible criminal groups, was delayed because of concerns about enforcement.

Both were unanimously passed by Mapleton council.

Councillors in Minto  have passed the taxi bylaw for a reciprocal agreement relating to the licencing of accessible taxicabs, taxicabs, and limousines. Mayor David Anderson said the county will be dealing with the administration of the bylaw, while the OPP?deal with the enforcement.
