considering the ban doesn't go into effect until midnight, and the fact that enforcement has been non-existent this year, i doubt they'll be towing cars overnight.

i would chance it tbh. i doubt any useless clowns will be doing jack with cars or plowing.

edit: to my absolute shock a cruiser actually just did a warning pass thru with the whoop whoops, so i guess they will be towing after all. best to order a tow to somewhere safe. i hope it all works out.

second edit: the parade of towtrucks dragging cars has commenced. i know that these fees are generally uncontestable but fuck the dpw and the cops for their irregular enforcement. a lot of these people probably don't realize they will be towed because this is the literal first time this dysfunctional city has towed on this street all fucking season. i would fight it just for the fuck of it and explain that i didn't realize that anyone in this city actually did anything when it snows.

This is exactly why it's irregular. If they do it regularly, they won't make as money in tickets. It's the lazy way to get more tickets written to meet their quotas.

I feel as though they could tow every car parked illegally on the daily and the fuckin morons in this city would still do stupid shit in clearly marked areas and complain about it. There was 3 cars in a row parked on the wrong side of the street (as in they were facing against traffic) across from me, which is what's banned. The police did the whoop whoop and they didn't come out. The cars were all towed about 12 minutes after midnight. The next snowstorm 2 of them were back, parked the wrong way, and during a ban. The next morning they were gone again. Haven't seen those cars since so I am curious what happened.

Most likely. There will always be people who don't read signs, don't pay attention to city ordinances, or just feel they should be able to do what they want.
