Village Notice: No Street Parking Allowed

"No parking on Village Streets from 2:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M."

Please be aware: vehicles must be parked out of the right-of-way. This includes the shoulders of the road. Vehicles will be ticketed and/or towed away at owner's expense. The growing number of cars parked on street and road right-of-way has in the past greatly hampered snow plowing efforts. This has made it necessary to enforce this ordinance. If you don't have a driveway, you must find parking space off of the street and road right-of-way. This ordinance will be enforced starting November 1st.

Thank you for your cooperation,
VILLAGE OF SARANAC

Department of Public Works
