Since the beginning of two way traffic on Asylum Avenue, the HPD has tagged and towed over 100 vehicles.  Motorists are charged $67.00 in towing charges and receive a $33 ticket for violating the no-parking zone. 

Again, the HPD Traffic Division, in the interest of public safety, asks the community's support in adhering to no-parking zone postings.
