GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Odd-even and same-side parking restrictions will begin on many neighborhood streets in Grand Rapids on Saturday, Nov. 1, to allow local street sweepers and snowplows easier access throughout the fall and winter.
These parking restrictions also help to keep one lane of traffic open and available for residents as well as emergency and public service vehicles, according to the city.
“We need the community’s help as we work to clear streets of leaves and other tree debris that naturally fall into the road,” said John Gorney, public works director. “Following the parking restrictions allows us to effectively clean the streets and ensures we don’t have flooded streets this winter due to clogged catch basins.”
