Parking Banned Along South Side of Highwood Ave.

Due to the narrow width of Highwood Avenue between Skyway Drive and Point Douglas Rd., the City has banned parking on the south side of the street. The equipment used to plow and to clean the street was having difficulty navigating the turns with parking on the street.

Although you may think it would make more sense to ban the parking on the north side where there are fewer houses, there are actually fewer LEGAL parking spots on the south side of the street. This is because of the law that people cannot park within 5 feet of a driveway and there are more driveways on the north side.

The no parking signs go up today (March 2)...
