ATTENTION ALL ZONE 5 RESIDENTS AND VISITORS!

With the warmer weather comes an influx of visitors to our parks and playing fields. We have already received complaints about blocked streets and driveways in these areas. This is a gentle reminder from your friends at Zone 5... PARK LEGALLY - DON'T GET TOWED! It is illegal to block someone's driveway or to park in such a manner that a vehicle (especially an emergency vehicle) cannot navigate down the street. Please park in a LEGAL spot when you visit any of our parks and fields.  THANK YOU!
 
Please note: There will be NO Zone 5 PSC meeting on Tuesday since we have the city-wide meeting this month!
