St. Charles, IL  (October 31, 2012) – Just a reminder that when you park on most city streets, you will need to move your vehicle at least once every 24 hours.  (See Ordinance 2004-M-17, also Municipal Code 10.40.010.D.)  Some streets may have their own restrictions regarding days of the week, times of the day, etc., please be careful to adhere to these restrictions as well.  Also, please remember that it is leaf pick-up season.  Please make every attempt not to park in front of the piles of leaves.  If you are blocking the piles of leaves, it makes it very difficult for our crews to get to them to pick them up.

Questions regarding parking may be directed to the St. Charles Police Department, 630-377-4435.  Questions regarding leaf pick-up may be directed to Public Works, 630-377-4405.
