IRON MOUNTAIN – Residents of Iron Mountain and Kingsford are reminded that the overnight winter parking ban goes into effect Friday and runs through March 31.

The winter parking ban prohibits parking of vehicles on streets, alleys and city owned parking lots between the hours of 2 a.m. and 7 a.m.

Officers, however, will not begin enforcing the overnight parking ban until the first snowfall or icy roads that require the plows/salters to come out.

Residents of both cities should keep abreast of approaching weather systems forecasting snow and remove their vehicles from streets, alleys and city-owned parking lots as enforcement will begin without further notice, officials said.
