Snow Parking Regulations

With the winter weather quickly approaching, the Yorkville Police Department would like to remind all residents of our parking after two inches of snowfall ordinance. This ordinance places a parking ban on all city streets once two inches of fresh snow has accumulated and will remain in effect until twenty-four hours after the snowfall has stopped. By doing your part, you will help the Public Works Department have time to clear the roads and allow for safer travel. Failure to comply with this ordinance may result in a city ordinance citation which carries a fine of fifty dollars. We are encouraging everyone to utilize the Yorkville Police Department’s Facebook page for updates on inclement weather as well as parking bans. The Yorkville Police Department would like to thank everyone for their attention and assistance with this matter.
