Sarnia council briefs, July 25, 2022

City council has directed staff to engage the public about the implementation of a new bylaw that would permit the use of low-speed vehicles (LSV) on city streets.

LSV are generally described as electric vehicles that are designed to run at a maximum speed of 40 kilometres an hour, and are typically used for short trips.

These types of vehicles were previously prohibited from operating within Ontario, however, under a 10 year provincial pilot project that began on July 1, 2017, LSV are permitted to operate within municipalities where a by-law has been passed authorizing their use.
