Full Notification

A City Wide Parking Ban will go into effect on Wednesday, February 16, 2022 beginning at 10 p.m.

Due to the current track of this winter storm and  the expectation of freezing rain, sleet and snow the City of Pekin is implementing a City Wide Parking Ban to allow our snow removal crews the opportunity to keep our streets clear.

Please understand that with the combination of freezing rain and snow projected that the main focus of the street department will be the main roads and designated snow routes.  In efforts to open up roadways the City Wide Ban provides us with the best option to clear all roads once the event is over.

How you can help:

1.  Please do not park on the streets.  We understand that it is an inconvenience, but we have no alternatives.  We try to limit the length of time that these bans are utilized, so your cooperation will help us get through this event quicker.

2.  Do Not call requesting a plow down your street.  Again the focus during the peak of the storm will be the main roads and snow routes.  Secondary streets will be attended to after these roadways are cleared.  We ask for patience during this event.

3.  Be a good neighbor.  If you have elderly or other neighbors that may be in need check on them.  Help them with needs and if you have room allow them a space to park off road.

4.  If you can spread the word to sign up for NIXLE at www.nixle.com to receive text and emails regarding up to the minute information regarding this storm.  Follow us on Facebook and watch your local news for more information.

Instructions:

NO STREET PARKING BEGINNING 10 P.M. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2002 UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
