MONROE - The Monroe Police Department, in conjunction with the Monroe streets department, reminds all persons that calendar parking regulations for the City of Monroe began at 12:01 a.m. today and will continue through March 31.
All residents must park on the even side of streets and avenues on even-numbered dates and the odd side on odd-numbered dates, according to a news release from Chief Fred Kelley. The ordinance is enforced from midnight to 7 a.m. each day. Parking should take place on the side of the street the house numbers are either odd or even, in conjunction with the date after the stroke of midnight.
Tickets for timed parking violations are $20, and they increase with each offense. The exceptions to this enforcement are the downtown Square and two blocks in any direction of the Square.
The city also has snow routes, where all vehicles need to be removed if snowfall accumulates to more than 2 inches, marked with signs.
Police also wanted to remind everyone that snow and ice must be removed from sidewalks as soon as possible after a snowfall for safety purposes. Kelley wrote in the release that it is a violation of city law to move snow or ice from one property onto another.
MPD and the street department ask for cooperation, noting that if rules are followed, snow removal goes more smoothly.
