Cars must be moved for snow removal crews
City residents are reminded that vehicles parked on the street must move every 24 hours during winter. Snow crews will begin towing violators to clear plows. If three inches or more accumulate, cars must be removed within 12 hours until both sides are plowed. Violations bring a ticket and towing at owner expense.
