This is a horrible by law as it hurts the working class and small business owners.

It’s about time that Canadians will mind their business and NOT abuse the failing stupid system! “ACTING ON COMPLAINT” All City’s copy bylaws from each other –the dummies we elected do not learning nor improving those bylaws (what can WE expect from people we elected once THEY GOT THEIR POSITION). WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE OUR OWN PROPERTY THAT WE OWN AND PAID FOR! WE PAY HIGH TAXES, till when and how far WILL THE CITY CONTROL US!?

This is an antiquated by-law. Small business has been on the rise for a few decades now. It is already tough to run a small business. This makes it even tougher. Give her a break.

Revise this ridiculous by-law. She hasn't got a tractor-trailer parked in her driveway and if the neighbours don't like it they should move! Sandra & Tom Bernard

Does a hummer or 4 SUVs in a driveway look prettier? There is no danger or impediments here. She has decorated it nicely and is providing a necessary service in our community. This bylaw needs to be revised for our times.

We all pay property taxes- and if it's on her driveway and not on yours -leave it be. Think of the good she does, and look the other way of it bothers you. We have people with trailers and boats on their driveways. Should they be banned too? Live and let live!

Great example of how outdated some by-laws are.

Let our neighbourhoods reflect who our neighbours are. Small businesses operated from home, properly stored vehicles (work or recreational) reflect us. A complaints driven system that allows one spiteful neighbour to drive us out is tyrannical. Five complaints, from separate households over a three week period should be the minimum requirement for a bylaw visit. Let's our community reflect us.

We should be encouraging small businesses, not putting roadblocks in their way!

Owners should be able to park any type of vehicle on their driveway as long as it does not encroach on anyone's property.

What's more important than saving lives or being there when your pet need medical attention?

As a small business owner I am in total agreement and feel the bylaw needs to be changed.

This is way different from having construction vehicles parked outside. No to construction vehicles, yes to small business owners!!

Allow her park her small home based Vetmobile in her driveway.
