Boise to review towing policy Sat, 14 Jun 2008 00:00:05 MDT
Boise officials are considering a change to the city's policy of towing cars illegally parked in parks after some high-profile towing flaps. Last Fall, the city towed a slew of illegally parked vehicles from Julia Davis Park while fans took in a triple overtime Boise State University Bronco game. The move prompted complaints to the mayor's office. Then last month, the teen-aged daughter of Boise City Councilwoman Elaine Clegg was stranded at night in Ann Morrison Park after she parked in a no parking zone and had her car towed. Now, a group of city officials and staff are reviewing how the city should enforce parking rules inside city parks, and they hope to have a decision before this season's first Bronco game.
