You may not want to think about winter, but you may want to think about winter parking rules.
The city of Belleville’s winter parking restrictions take effect November 1.
There will be no parking regulations on the streets between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m.
The city notice indicates that vehicles left on the street pose an obstacle to snow-clearing activities, making it dangerous for both maintenance crews and the public.
Overnight parking is also not permitted in city-owned parking lots.
Motorists parking on city streets, or in city-owned parking lots, between the hours of 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. run a high risk of having their vehicle ticketed and possibly towed.
The restrictions will be in effect until April 15 next spring.
The notice points out the city’s parking enforcement staff and road crews, including staff operating road and sidewalk snow plows, thank motorists for their cooperation in paying attention to these parking restrictions.
