Residents affected by the Snow Parking Ban are permitted to park at no charge in the City of Lakewood Municipal Parking Lots located throughout the city and at Lakewood Park, 14532 Lake Avenue and Madison Park, 13029 Madison Avenue.  A complete list of Municipal Parking Lots is available at http://www.lakewoodoh.gov/pdf/Municipal_Parking_Lots.pdf.
