The Mayor and Public Works have decided to wait until snowfall is in the forecast before activating the ordinance. The City will be posting notice of enforcement of the Winter Parking Ordinance on the City Website and on the City Social Media pages (Facebook & Instagram) in the days leading up to snowfall.
