No tickets issued under P.A.’s alley curfew bylaw
Eight months after it was passed by city council, police are giving the public a first look at the roll-out and enforcement of Prince Albert’s controversial alley access bylaw, and it would appear there’s not much to report.
Police say there have been no tickets issued under the bylaw, nor has there been any increase in enforcement related to it.
Under the bylaw, rear lanes in the city are closed between the hours of 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. Anyone found in the restricted areas after curfew is subject to a fine of between $500 and $5,000.
Prince Albert city council passed the measure aimed at combatting property crime in June, despite opposition from critics who said it could contribute to racial profiling.
