334 Erection of monuments, etc, and provision of facilities on or under roads

• (1) The council may—

  • (a) construct and enclose any part of a road as a pedestrian safety area:

  • (b) lay out or plant grass plots or flower beds or trees on any road, and prohibit traffic, in whole or in part, on any such plots and flower beds laid out in roads (whether laid out before or after the commencement of this Part) by or under the authority of the council:

  • (c) erect on any road a monument, statue, or other such erection:

  • (d) construct or provide on, over, or under any road facilities for the safety, health, or convenience of the public, or for the control of traffic or the enforcement of traffic laws:

  Provided that no such construction, erection, laying out, or planting shall be carried out, unless in the opinion of the council the construction, erection, laying out, or planting will not unduly impede vehicular traffic entering or using the road (not being a road or part of a road that has been declared a pedestrian mall under section 336).

  (2) For the purposes of any resolution or bylaw of the council, anything constructed or provided under the authority of the council shall be deemed to be sufficiently described if the road in which it is constructed or provided and its approximate locality in that road are specified in the bylaw or resolution.
