Trustee John Hickey said Board members have received many complaints this winter about cars left on the streets during snowstorms. “The law hasn’t been enforced in several years,” said Mayor Matt Monahan. “We have given a few warnings and tickets, but that is it.” The Board agreed that later this year signs will be put up indicating odd and even side of the street parking during storms and that towing will be enforced. “We’re looking at more of these 1950s winters,” said Hickey. Trustee Ann Bornt added that it had been a nasty winter and she can’t wait for it to end.
