Parking Changes for Winter in Pine City

Pine City was blasted with the first snowfall of the year on Friday, and the city wants to remind its citizens of parking rules.

In effect immediately, there’s no parking allowed from 2-6 am through March 31st.

Any vehicles left on the street during that time could be towed at the owners’ expense, and any damage is the owners’ liability.

If you think your vehicle might have been towed, you can call the city to find out what you’ll need to release your vehicle.

These rules are set in place to ensure safety and efficiency as streets are cleared in the winter months.

Hosted and taught by a DNR Fisheries Specialist, the clinic is being held Thursday, November 16th at 6:30 at the library.

Info will range from ice safety to equipment and tips.

All are invited and the class is free.

Project Lifesaver through Chisago County Sheriff’s Office

A project offered throughout Chisago county by the Sheriff’s Office has saved numerous lives over the course of its history.

Set in place back in 2011 as a part of a national plan, Project Lifesaver helps find individuals with disabilities who wander away from home.

The project has seen 100% of the over 3,000 cases locate the missing person safe and sound.

A small radio transmitter is placed on the person, and a group of specially trained emergency personnel are dispatched should the individual wander away.

While the project isn’t free, costs are minimal, and you can find out more by calling the Chisago County Sheriff’s Office.
