At the June 21st Washington City Council meeting, several new updated traffic enforcement measures were proposed to  members. One of the new rules revolves around snow removal. A policy could be put in place where a $50 fine is issued if a car is parked on the road during snow removal hours. This policy is part of a potential “Snow Ban” parking plan where the city would issue a memo for residents to not park their cars on the street for a certain amount of time.

Another issue that will be discussed is increasing current parking fines from $20 to $25 and that if a ticket is 90-days overdue, the County Treasurer can put a hold on any future vehicle registration.

Both of these issues will be discussed at the July 5th City Council meeting at City Hall in the Council Chambers.
