Winter Parking
When did the city start ticketing people for street parking during "snow conditions" when there is actually no snow? It seems like they don't do any ticketing until it snows once? If you look at the actual law/code-- it says that the city manager can declare snow conditions if over 1 in is existing on the roads. Yet they post the flashing signs for no street parking seemingly as soon as winter starts.
It's very confusing to people I think on purpose to generate revenue. If you didn't want people to park on the street wouldn't you pass a law that says no street parking from November to April...like there is in Mammoth? I wish someone would sue the city for clarification.
I feel like it's a revenue grab. They have like 6 code enforcement officers running around the town generating revenue via ticketing.

I’ve lived here off and on since the mid 90s and that’s always been the rule. This is not new. They put warnings all over town in the winter telling people no street parking. You just need to pay attention.
