***Trailer Parking Reminder!***
November 1st is fast approaching. Please remember that per city ordinance, you are not allowed to have trailers parked on the city streets from November 1st to April 1st (it is in section C of the attached snippet of the full ordinance). This is so that the streets and roadways are clear in the event of snows and inclement weather so plows can maneuver easily and get the streets as clean as possible. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the Oakley Police Department or the City of Oakley. We appreciate everyone's cooperation in this matter!
