Two new by-laws will be up for approval on Monday, June 27, 2022 in Cobourg.
It looks like Cobourg will be getting an anti-idling by-law shortly.
The by-law will restrict idling to a period of two minutes, but there are exemptions for emergency services along with vehicles in drive thru’s and delivery vehicles with refrigerator units.
The fines will be $60.00 for cause or commit idling for more than two-minutes and for contravening the order is $100.00.
There will also be amendments to the smoking by-law which will restrict cannabis, e-cigarettes and vaping in town parks and on the beach.
There are exceptions for medical use as well as for Indigenous people for sacred tobacco.
The fine is $105.00.
Both will be up for approval on Monday, June 27 at the next regular council meeting.
