City officials in Thunder Bay have proposed a revised bylaw that allows residents to plant gardens on city-owned boulevards, addressing concerns raised by the community. The bylaw includes revisions such as permitting shrubs up to one meter tall, allowing herbaceous plants up to 1.6 meters, and permitting plant support structures within garden boxes. The bylaw also enforces stricter environmental protection measures by banning synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides, and fertilizers.
THUNDER BAY — City officials believe they have found a middle ground on the proposed bylaw that would allow residents to plant gardens on city-owned boulevards.
On Monday, council will be presented with the revised bylaw that now includes all of those revisions. Environmental protection measures have also been enhanced – synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides and fertilizes are banned.
