Full Notification

Heavy snow is expected for our area this weekend and through early next week.  The Village of North Aurora would like to remind residents that on street parking after a 2 inch or more snowfall is prohibited until the street is plowed to the curb.  Violators may be ticketed and towed.  Ticket fines & tow fees will cost in excess of $150 per vehicle.

We ask that residents keep their vehicles off of the street during this severe storm to facilitate plowing.  We'd rather have compliance than ticket & tow vehicles.
