In a significant snowstorm, the DPW Director and Police Chief can declare a parking ban, cars left on the street are towed, and owners pay the removal and storage costs. Utility trailers may be parked or stored on any lot, while overnight occupancy of mobile homes or RVs on public roads is prohibited.
