Public Hearing scheduled
The City of Lake Forest Park is proposing changes in the City’s parking regulations.

The major change in the ordinance adds an infraction for parking a commercial truck or trailer or any type of construction equipment on any right-of-way in any residential zone of the city at any time, unless engaged in the loading or unloading in connection with an approved construction project. The ordinance calls allows for the issuance of parking infractions for moving or re-parking a vehicle parked in the right-of-way within the same block to avoid a parking time limit. If you have any questions, please call Officer Ron Huston at 206-364-8216.
