For the next Saanich snow event

For a corner property, include every bordering sidewalk in the check and then verify whether the parking rule changes during plowing or snow loading.

For corner and commercial properties, read the exact frontage and timing language; those are common places for exceptions.

Municipal winter programs are operational as well as legal. Use current event notices and signs, not memory from a previous storm.
