VILLAGE SPOTLIGHT
Overnight Parking Restrictions Will Begin December 1Seasonal overnight parking restrictions will take effect December 1 through March 31. Last year, the Village Board passed a local law moving the start date of the seasonal restriction from November 1 to December 1, which will be especially helpful to those with visiting family during the Thanksgiving holiday. Beginning December 1, on-street parking is prohibited from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. on Village roadways. This restriction facilitates snow and ice fighting operations by having streets free of vehicles during the overnight hours and thereby allowing curb-to-curb plowing and salting operations. |
