City officials are reminding us all in Des Moines not to park along designated streets if a “measurable snowfall” occurs anytime on Christmas weekend. The police department says those vehicles can be ticketed or towed. Two weeks ago, more than 800 tickets were issued for illegal parking along snow ordinance streets when Des Moines was hit with its first winter storm of the season. The tickets are $35 for each violation. Some residents have spoken out against the new ordinance that prohibits on-street parking in 16 residential neighborhoods when Public Works Department crews plow during snow storms. In fact, some have urged the City Council to allow parking in front yards during snow storms, which didn't get much traction at this week’s council meeting. Stay tuned on that.
