The City also wants to remind citizens of the rules for the parking during this Friday's First Friday events and participants are advised to adhere to the City's parking restrictions within neighborhoods and maintain roadway access for emergency vehicles. Participants should also use caution when parking near fire hydrants, parking within 25-feet of an intersection and parking against traffic. In addition to parking regulations, participants are reminded that no open containers are allowed. First Friday features an array of locally made arts and crafts. |
