WINTER 2010

Every year we post this page under the "Spotlight Issue"
Yet, every year the Police Dept. ends up issuing hundreds of tickets and towing countless cars for violations of this ordinance.

If you know someone who normally parks in an area that falls under the Winter Parking Ban, please let them know where to find these regulations. Help a neighbor out!
