No Parking on City Streets 12am - 6am

The Sault Ste. Marie Police Service is reminding motorists there is no parking of vehicles on city streets between midnight and 6 am. The parking prohibition by-law runs from November 1st 2009 through to midnight on March 31st, 2010. Persons who disobey this by-law will receive a $15 fine and may have their vehicle towed. If your vehicle is towed you then have the additional cost of the towing and storage fee at the compound. Even when there is not snow the by-law is in effect. Often the weather can change from what was forecasted and when this occurs officers from Police Service are kept busy tagging and towing cars to assist the City Board of Works crews in snow removal. So please obey the by-law and don’t park on the streets between midnight and 6 am.
