With the upcoming storm this weekend, Public Works is asking that residents refrain from parking on all streets starting 2/15 at 10 PM through the duration of the storm. This storm is expected to end in the early morning hours on Monday 2/17. We’re asking that you please have patience with crews as we are already short staffed and doing the very best we can to keep roadways and sidewalks open. Please limit your travel and plan ahead if it is necessary as visibility may be limited at times. Thank you.
