Drivers who parked overnight on 107 miles of certain main streets only got warning flyers early Sunday morning. On Monday morning, there will be no such luck.

Even if there is no snow on the ground, parking is banned between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. seven days a week on 107 miles of the city's main streets between Dec. 1 and April 1.
