Parking ordinance passes final reading

The third and final reading of the ordinance governing parking and street use in Moorcroft took place Monday night. Though the council was divided in their comfort with the time limit for parked vehicles, the vote was unanimous and the newly approved ordinance keeps the five consecutive day limit for vehicles, including “motorized and non-motorized that can be towed”, to remain stationary on municipal streets without moving.

Police Chief Bill Bryant said that, while the potential exists for towing vehicles not aligned and managed with the stricter enforcement, he and his officers will first attempt citation to bring residents into reconciliation with town ordinance.

The town worked on a mainline water leak on the northeast end of town Monday.
