An increased ferry marshal presence is expected in Snug Cove this summer under a new pilot program. Bylaw services supervisor Doug Woods says he is looking to hire a pair of ferry marshals for the upcoming tourist season with a $46,000 Small Community Grant Fund the municipality received from the province at the end of last year. The marshals would work around seven hours total on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and holidays beginning with the May long weekend and running through Thanksgiving. The project would be assessed at the end of the year to determine if it should be brought back in the future. Duties for the marshals would include speaking to people parked in the cross-hatch sections of the lineup, making sure traffic lanes stay clear, and keeping an eye out for people trying to jump into the lineup while the ferry is loading. While the marshals won’t have the power to issue tickets for any infractions, they can either alert bylaw officers to attend the scene or document illegal activity so a ticket can be issued retroactively.
