Winter Parking Rules Now in Effect: Peekskill Police

PEEKSKILL, NY — Due to the overnight snow, sleet and rain, Peekskill officials have put the winter parking regulations into effect.

Those rules prohibit parking on most city streets from midnight to 8 a.m. There is some alternate side of the street parking, in designated areas, allowing parking between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. Follow the designated signs so that plows can clear streets when needed.

Vehicles in violation of the rules may be issued a parking ticket — and fines start at $50. Cars could also be towed at the owner's expense.

Check the rules on the city's website to learn more about what happens when the city declares a snow State of Emergency.

The decision to implement the winter rules was made Sunday afternoon by the head of the Peekskill Department of Public Works, Brent VanZandt, and Peekskill Police Chief Eric Johansen, according to the Peekskill Post.
