Ladies and Gentlemen
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas (I still
think the snow’s a bit early). So… from
November 15 to April 1 the overnight parking ban for our streets and municipal
parking lots is in effect. Please make sure your vehicle is not parked on
public property from 12.01 am to 7:00 am.
Now for those of you who are in the Christmas spirit and
intend to shop downtown, the Town has a deal for you. The Town will be
accepting donations of unwrapped toys from residents in exchange for a 3-hour
Free Parking Pass that you can use throughout the month of December at metered
spaces in the downtown. You can make your toy donation at the Town office
(please go to the Building and Planning desk) or the Midland Public Library.
