vehicle upon any street within the Town between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 8:00 a.m.
- At any time during a snow storm and for twelve (12) hours thereafter, no person shall park an unattended vehicle on any street within the Town.
(a) No person shall deposit, throw, sweep or place any accumulation of snow or ice on any street, sidewalk or public parking lot within the limits of the Town, providing
that this regulation shall not apply to employees or contractors of council while engaged in snow clearing operations.
- Any unattended vehicle parked on any street within the Town in contravention of these regulations may be removed and impounded by the Council and the cost of such removal and impounding may be recovered from the owner as a civil debt prior to the vehicle being returned to the owner.
