Police Brief: Parking Advisory

Increased truck traffic due to harvest and construction is causing parking issues and crashes around Glasgow, according to Police Chief Barstad. Motorists are reminded not to park in the yellow no-parking zones or crosswalks and to exercise caution when pulling out around trucks and other vehicles.

The Public Works department will be doing street maintenance throughout the month of August. Director Bob Kompel asks drivers to be vigilant around workers. Crack sealing is planned for the first part of the month. Asphalt patching and painting crosswalks and no-parking zones is planned for the second half of August, to be completed before school starts Sept. 1.

Residents on city street corners are asked to trim back trees and bushes before the beginning of the school year. Cleared corners allow drivers to better see children on their way to and from school and lets city workers better perform their jobs.
