As of 5:00 pm, February 5, the parking ban is no longer in effect. Remember, it is the City’s policy to issue a parking ban when the projected forecast is at least 2″ or more of snow so that the snow plows are able to clear the streets up to the curb. Parking tickets start at $200, will go up to $250 if not paid in seven days, and $300 if not paid in a month.
