4. My vehicle was ticketed (snow). Why?

The Village of Channahon has an ordinance regarding parking in the street after 2 inches of snow has fallen. No vehicle shall be parked in the street after 2 inches of snow has fallen. This is to allow the Village of Channahon snow plows to clear snow from the streets. There are signs posted at the entrance of each subdivision.
