Winter Towing Off To Fast Start

We warned you yesterday that the winter parking ban started in the wee hours of this morning and, sure enough, the towing patrol is out in full force. Our pal The Parking Ticket Geek reports that Streets & Sans towed 234 cars overnight as the ban took effect, a 40 percent increase over last year's first night haul. So be wary of the various parking zones because with the city badly in need of money, they won't hesitate to haul off any cars they can get revenue from.
