What does access in Edmonton add to the price?

City of Edmonton rules say a commercial waste bin, POD, or SeaCan on City road right of way needs an On-Street Construction and Maintenance (OSCAM) permit, a servicing address, and either retro-reflective marking or temporary traffic control under Traffic Bylaw 5590, section 66. A daily fee is planned but on hold. Apply at least 6 working days ahead for low traffic impact and 10 working days for high impact; processing time is 6 business days. Quote the street box with that lead time. The driveway skips the permit. Canada has no federal mover licence. Before a deposit, match the legal name to the truck and ask for written insurance.

The moving box lands on the street a day early with no OSCAM permit behind it, and the crew still waits while someone chips ice off the front steps.
