1. If my car is towed where can I go to get my car back?

All cars that are towed for violation of no parking regulations during a Snow Emergency are towed to the Storm Lake impound lot. In order to retrieve your vehicle you should stop by the Storm Lake Public Safety Office located at 401 East Milwaukee Street during normal business hours to pay the fine and storage fee before getting your vehicle back.

2. I live downtown where can I park my car during a snow emergency?

During declared snow emergencies residents who live downtown can park their cars overnight in two downtown parking lots (Lots A and C). Lot A is located at the corner of Geneseo and 7th Streets. Lot C is located on Erie Street across from BV Stationary and behind the Connell Law Office. Parking in any other downtown public parking lot will result in your vehicle being towed during a snow emergency.
