Interfering with snow removal

On-street parking is prohibited in West Lincoln during a snow event until the local roads are cleared. Residents are asked to remove parked vehicles from the street before or during snowfall to allow the Township to properly clear the snow from the entire road surface.

• "Snow event" refers to any accumulation of snow that sticks to the roadway
• The fine for interfering with snow removal is $75

Any vehicle parked or standing in such a manner as to interfere with snow clearing operations may be ticketed or towed away. Vehicles that are towed may be stored in a suitable place, and all costs and charges for removing, care and storage thereof, if any, are a lien upon the vehicle.
