Depending on the proposed work, some activities may require both a Road Permit and a Highway Use Permit.
Under the Town of Comox Street and Traffic Bylaw No. 1358, a Road Permit is required for any activity that uses or affects a municipal roadway, sidewalk, parking stall, or right-of-way and impacts traffic or pedestrian movement. For example:
- Sidewalk closure
- Parking stall closure
- Road or lane closure (partial or full) for the purpose of construction or utility work, event, parade, block party, etc.
- Bin placed roadside - The Road Permit is typically applied for by the bin company as they should already have the required Certificate of Insurance.
- Oversize Load / House Moving - review the Town's requirements here. The permit approval process can take 2-4 weeks to allow time for sufficient review, including assessment of any potential impacts on Town roads.
