Overnight winter parking restrictions in Owen Sound come into effect on Tuesday.
Parking is prohibited on all city streets and non-designated municipal lots between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. from December 1 until March 31, under Owen Sound by-law.
Vehicle owners found in violation can face a parking fine and/or have their car towed at the owner’s expense.
The city sells overnight parking passes for municipal lots in the 800 block of 3rd Avenue East and the 700 block of 1st Avenue East.
Owen Sound retains three private contractors along with city crews to maintain the parking lots during the winter control season.
Maintenance crews may start as early as 1:00 a.m. to clear parking lots.
