Part 3 — Special Municipal Powers and Limits on Municipal Powers Division 1 Expropriation
22 Road closure
control and management of the municipality may be closed except
by bylaw.
(2) Before giving second reading to a bylaw that would close a
road, a council must hold a public hearing with respect to the
proposed bylaw in accordance with section 216.4 after giving
notice of it in accordance with section 606.
(3) No road may be closed by bylaw of the council of a
municipality that is not a city unless the bylaw is approved by the
Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors before it
receives second reading.
(4) Despite this section, the council of a municipal district may, by
resolution, with the approval of the Minister of Transportation and
Economic Corridors, close the whole or any part of a road
described in a surveyed road plan if the council determines the road
is no longer required for use by the travelling public because an
alternate route exists.
(5) Despite this section, a council may, by resolution, temporarily
close or authorize a designated officer to temporarily close the
whole or a part of a road at any time if the council considers that a
construction or maintenance project on or adjacent to the road may
create a hazard.
