The City of Ithaca plans to begin street cleaning operations on Monday, April 3, with streets on South Hill among the first on the schedule. The affected streets will be posted with “No Parking” signs 24 hours in advance of the cleaning. All vehicles remaining on the street after 7:00 a.m. will be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense. The standard parking ticket can range from $15 to $30, and the towing rate in the City of Ithaca is $100 plus sales tax. Vehicle storage fees are $25 per day.
The street cleaning schedule can be found here.
Unfortunately, each year some students have their vehicles towed because they did not see or heed the posted signs. Students who park on the street should watch for signs and check on their cars daily from April 3 through the first week in May. While the work will be spread throughout the city during this time, South Hill streets will be targeted on April 3, 6, 12, 17, and 28.
If you will be away during this time, please make other parking arrangements for your vehicle. People in need of long-term parking arrangements can call the City Chamberlain’s office at (607) 274-6580 to inquire about the availability of long-term permits in the parking garages, or find information on the office’s website.
Please note that street cleaning is weather dependent and may be rescheduled in case of inclement weather.
Call the City of Ithaca Streets and Facilities Office at (607) 272-1718 with any questions or concerns about this program.
