Garden City rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Garden City, no utility trailer, house trailer, recreational vehicle or boat may be parked overnight on any street or other public place.
In Garden City, utility trailers, house trailers, recreational vehicles and boats may not be parked overnight on any street, and the code's street-obstruction ban does not cover temporary obstructions incidental to moving things to and from the adjoining property. A snow emergency takes effect automatically once three inches of snow or ice accumulate, banning all street parking until it is canceled, and street parking is also banned on declared Public Service Days, announced at least 48 hours ahead. Loud, excessive noise while loading or unloading a vehicle counts as an unnecessary noise.
