Artists Reception, Sunday, February 27, 3:00 – 5:00 p.m.

• Move vehicles by 11:30 p.m. Thursday to odd-numbered side of street (unless otherwise posted) to avoid ticketing and towing

• Parking is also allowed in municipal lots (but not in school lots)

Beginning at 7:30 p.m., cars will have four hours (until 11:30 p.m.) to move to the ODD side of the street (unless signage on your street says otherwise).

Residents may begin moving their cars to the odd-numbered side as early as they like, but please move your car by 11:30 p.m. to avoid ticketing and towing.
