Vernon's anti idling bylaw has been put on hold, for six months. Final approval of the bylaw was deferred to allow the city to run an education campaign to inform residents about the program. Councillor Bob Spiers feels the law could be a nitemare to enforce, and he doesn't think it should apply to vehicles idling on private property. "But it seemed to be the feeling of the group that the objective could be achieved by an educational and informational campaign." Once the bylaw is adopted, drivers could be fined $250 dollars or more, if they let their cars idle for longer than five minutes.Tuesday, March 26, 2013
