Winter Parking Bans In Effect

Overnight street and municipal lot parking bans are now in effect in a number of Copper Country municipalities.

The hours differ slightly. Bans in Houghton, Calumet and Laurium run from 2:00 am to 7:00 am. Hancock’s runs from 2:30 am to 7:00 am.

City crews need clear access to street curbs and parking lots for overnight snow removal. Vehicles should be pulled away from the street far enough to allow space for the plowed snow to be piled.

Cars left on, or too close to, the street will be towed, and car owners will have to pay the towing costs and an additional fine.

Restrictions will remain in place until April 30th.
