Police ask residents to park in driveways so plows can come through.

My point had nothing to do with getting alerts! It's getting an alert about parking on the streets when it snows. I don't need to be alerted that its going to snow and I can't park in the streets. That's what I meant! It's a waste of time getting alerts on things people should already know. more ›
