For those who live and park downtown:

We’ve all heard… there’s a major snowstorm heading our direction. If forecasts are accurate, we will receive a large amount of snow. To prevent your car from being buried, allow emergency access, and help our snow crews more effectively clear roads, please do not park on the main thoroughfares. Please move vehicles off the street by 5 p.m. on Saturday. We are currently expecting the heaviest snowfall Saturday evening and throughout Sunday. We’ve all got to work together, and we are thankful LexPark is offering free parking in their garages starting Saturday until Tuesday at 8 a.m. Go to www.lexpark.org for those details.
