Residents of Iron Mountain and Kingsford are reminded that the overnight winter parking ban went into effect Monday, and will extend through March 31.

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

Both Iron Mountain Police and Fire Department Director Ed Mattson and Kingsford Public Safety Department Brian Metras advise that officers will not begin enforcing the overnight parking ban until the first snowfall or icy roads that require the plows and salt trucks 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, they said.
