Dave Seaberg, 3167 Shorewood Drive, also stated opposition to the new winter parking ordinance. He explained it appears unreasonable to i1lIpose the parking restrictions when there is no snow a=nnulation on the streets and 11:00 p.m. is too early to restrict parking. Mayor sather explained the Public Works/Safety Cormnittee and Public Works SUpervisor recormnended the 11:00 p.m. time restriction to allow sufficient time to clear the streets of snow and CClI1plete sanding prior to the moming peak traffic.
