The city is considering a new bylaw that will crack down on idling vehicles.
The new rules would build on an anti-idling policy that bans employees from taking municipal government vehicles to a drive-thru window.
The bylaw would make it illegal to run the engine in a vehicle that’s motionless for more than three minutes.
HRM’s manager of sustainble environment tells the Herald a draft should be ready for a public hearing this fall.
Richard MacLellan says enforcement won’t be heavy-handed. A staff report recommends paying for a public education campaign to help promote the new law.
