WINONA, Minn. – Beginning Monday at 12:01 a.m. the seasonal alternate parking rules takes effect in Winona. Vehicles must be parked on the odd-numbered sides of city streets when the date, starting at 12:01 a.m. is an odd number — and on the even side when the date at 12:01 a.m., is an even number. Oh yes, a quirky side rule: Parking is prohibited in downtown Lot Number 1 and odd-numbered days in downtown Lot Number 3 on even-numbered days. Police ticket violators. The fine: $25. For vehicles that need be towed to make way for snow removal, you need to make a trip to 5035 West Sixth Street in Goodview, there the city-contracted Borkowski the Towmaster holds towed vehicles for a ransom of $80, sometimes more. It’s even more for storage if a vehicle isn’t r etrieved promptly.
Mean green. ‘Tis soon the season for Borkowski tow trucks to be out and about the city streets.
