City report highlights preparations for winter weather in downtown – Newton Daily News

Rather than storing their vehicles on streets during winter storms, Newton Public Works Director Jody Rhone is asking all business owners and tenants in the downtown snow removal district to park in the nearby public parking lots.

“We would much rather have those cars in the parking lots than on the streets,” he said. “With the big equipment that we use, we can’t work right tight around cars out on the street. We’ll deal with it later in the parking lots. And you can leave your car out in the parking lots for 72 hours.”

Currently there are five, free parking lots in downtown Newton:

• The lot across the street from Best Western Holiday Manor in the northeast corner of West Third Street North and North Second Avenue West intersection.

• The lot directly south of the Newton Public Library along North Third Avenue West between West Second Street North and First Street North.
