Editor: While walking in downtown Canmore in the last three days we have observed – cyclists riding on the sidewalk without an accompanying young child, heavy goods vehicles turning onto Main Street from Seventh Street past a “no heavy vehicles” sign, double vehicles (e.g. a van towing a big six wheel camper) parked on Main Street, occupying at least three parking spaces and a car driving the wrong way down the Roam bus route road across from the Civic Centre.
All of this is in spite of the more than 50, (yes, 50), signs that are erected between Main Street and 10th Street along Seventh Avenue in front of the Civic Centre.
Could money spent on locating, building and erecting signs be better spent on more enforcement? Is sign overload making some people ignore information that they do not want to know?
