Scheduled Maintenance Parking Bans
The Public Works Director will declare scheduled maintenance parking bans to provide for overnight City street maintenance operations as necessary. During a parking ban, no vehicles or trailers can be parked overnight on City streets or in public on-street parking spaces. This may also apply to public parking lots when a parking ban is declared.
