Cyclists and drivers in New Brunswick are being reminded that “Ellen’s Law” is now in effect.
Drivers must leave at least one metre of open space between their vehicle and a bicycle, when passing a bike that’s travelling in the same direction.
The amendment is named in memory of New Brunswick cyclist Ellen Watters, who died in December after being hit by a vehicle while on a training ride near Sussex.
Campbellton council is going to take another look at the transient trader bylaw which would charge food trucks from out of the area up to 5 thousand dollars a day.
However, the president of the local chamber of commerce; Regis Maltais, says people should shop local to keep money locally.
Things got stirred up after the Moncton-based Bangkok Food Truck was told it would have to pay 500 dollars an hour for up to 10 hours a day.
The truck went to Atholville instead.
Maltais strongly defended the bylaw, adding that in the past; outside vendors had come in with large trucks selling items, hurting local businesess.
