VILLAGE SPOTLIGHT
ICYMI: Overnight Parking Restrictions Began December 1Seasonal overnight parking restrictions took effect December 1 and will run 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. As of 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. |
