The City Alternate-Side Parking Ordinance (61.56) goes into effect on November 15, 2024 at 12:01am and stays in effect until March 15, 2025. This time frame allows the City Street Department ample time to clean fall leaves from the street and snowfall from the streets to allow safe passage of vehicles.
Alternate side parking works as follows: Vehicles must be on a specific side of the street between 12:01am and 6:30am every night during enforcement dates. The side of the street vehicles are allowed to park on is determined by the date at 12:01am. Odd dates mean that vehicles must park on the odd side of the street. Even dates mean that vehicles must park on the even side of the street. Odd and even sides of the street are determined by house numbers. Generally even numbered houses are on the north and east sides of the street and odd numbered houses are on the south and west sides of the street.
For example, if at 12:01am the date is November 15, then at that time, your vehicle should be parked on the odd side of the street. Alternatively, if at 12:01am the date is November 16, then at that time your vehicle should be parked on the even side of the street.
Lots affected by Alternate Side Parking:
- Lot # 1 is off 2nd between Center and Lafayette.
NO PARKING on odd numbered days. - Lot # 3 is by bus shelter off of Center St between 3rd and 4th St.
NO PARKING on even numbered days.
Violations will result in the issuance of a $25 citation. No warnings will be given. The Police Department will begin ticketing vehicles on November 15 at 12:01am. The vehicle’s registered owner will receive a letter if payment is not received within 10 days.
Vehicles towed during a Tag and Tow Operation will be towed to Borkowski Towing in Goodview. A release slip must be obtained by the registered owner of the vehicle from the Police Department in order to have your vehicle released. You must provide your driver’s license, proof of insurance, and pay the $25 citation to obtain a release. All fees for towing and storage are paid to Borkowski’s.
