Port Huron officials are hoping a small tweak to a city ordinance will help solve a big problem with beachgoers parking in prohibited areas in local neighborhoods.
A proposed adjustment to the city’s traffic and vehicles rules would create “no parking, tow-away zones” and allow authorities to have violating vehicles removed.
City Manager James Freed said they began mulling over the change a couple of years ago in search of a solution to out-of-town visitors finding places to park on crowded residential streets and other areas a short walk from major beaches.
“We had people dump cars on people’s front lawns last year. Literally, I watched it myself. I thought it was a joke. The guy pulled off the road, over a curb and gutter on the owner’s front lawn, and left his car,” Freed said.
