There are two Games Period Delivery Programs to ensure that businesses receive deliveries in a timely manner in February. These programs are known as:
The February 2010 Games Period Delivery Program will be in effect February 1 through 28, 2010.
Vehicle delivery hours under the February 2010 Games Period Delivery Program (see below) vary depending on location. Delivery schedule is as follows:
The February 2010 Games Period Delivery Program time restriction is applicable whether a delivery is being made using the public road allowance or private loading facilities.
The RMOW suggests that suppliers/distributers consider assigning additional staff to delivery vehicles to maximize delivery efficiency.
During the specified hours of the February 2010 Games Period Delivery Program there will be no restrictions on the size of delivery vehicle utilized by suppliers/distributers.
Suppliers/distributers will not require a specific permit when making deliveries during the February 2010 Games Period Delivery Program. The Games Period Quick Delivery Program will require a permit (see section below for further information).
Through traffic on Highway 99 outside of the February 2010 Games Period Delivery Program will be permitted. Vehicles traveling north of Squamish from February 11 through February 28, 2010 between the hours of 6:00am and 6:00pm are required to display valid Sea-to-Sky Checkpoint Permit.
Any delivery to a Games venue or behind a Vancouver 2010 Integrated Security Unit checkpoint will need to be coordinated with and identified on VANOC's master delivery schedule.
To ensure compliance with the February 2010 Games Period Delivery Program, municipal bylaws are being revised to reflect delivery regulations across the municipality. Delivery vehicles found to be in violation of municipal bylaws will be subject to ticketing and towing.
In addition to the February 2010 Games Period Delivery Program, the RMOW is developing a Games Period Quick Delivery Program which will allow for limited peak time deliveries, subject to additional conditions.
The RMOW recognizes the need for businesses to receive deliveries during peak times, and as such is developing a Games Period Quick Delivery Program. This program will manage delivery vehicle background traffic in critical areas of the municipality during peak times, while ensuring businesses have access to deliveries during regular business hours.
The Games Period Quick Delivery Program will be in effect February 1 through February 28, 2010.
The Games Period Quick Delivery Program will be administered through a permitting process. Any vehicle making deliveries under the program will be required to display a valid Quick Delivery Permit. Permits will be issued at no cost to qualified suppliers/distributers and the permits will be fully transferrable.
Suppliers\distributers can request a Quick Delivery Permit from the Whistler Permit Office which will be located at Municipal Hall (4325 Blackcomb Way) and will open on December 14, 2009.
Existing RMOW Commercial Parking Decals will not be valid as a Quick Delivery Permits while the Games Period Quick Delivery Program is in effect.
The maximum delivery vehicle size permitted under the Games Period Quick Delivery Program is a 16 foot long cube van or 16 foot long box truck. Note that this maximum dimension is the vehicle cargo bed length and is not inclusive of the cabin. Oversized vehicles will be ticketed and/or towed without delay.
Vehicle delivery hours under the Games Period Quick Delivery Program vary depending on location. Delivery schedule is as follows:
