The City of Dearborn is suspending the parking rules for Public Service Days until the week of April 6-10.

That means residents will not be required to remove their parked vehicles from the street on their designated Public Service Days until the week of April 6-10.

The parking rules are being suspended because of the season’s heavy snowfall, which has made it difficult for residents to find alternative places to park on their Public Service Days.  For instance, residents who usually park in nearby alleys may not be able to do so because snow has piled up in those alleys.

The parking rules are suspended for Public Service Days that occur the week of Feb. 2-6, the week of Feb. 16-20, the week of March 2-6 and the week of March 16-20. 

Parking enforcement will begin again the week of April 6-10.

Residents are still encouraged to remove their parked vehicles from the street if possible on those weeks. Removing parked vehicles allows city crews to perform services, such as supplemental snow plowing, more efficiently, because crews can reach curb to curb.
