Parking
The PWCA Parking Committee would like to remind everyone of the community
parking regulations. Cars double-parked or parallel parked with both
curbside tires not touching the concrete gutter (nominally more than 24
inches from the curb) or parked in areas designated with yellow curbs are subject to immediate towing. Also, please be courteous of your
neighbor’s reserved spaces. Parking in another resident’s space without
permission is also subject to immediate towing. Finally, if you are having
someone to your house YOU are responsible for notifying them of the community
parking regulations. If your or your guest’s car is towed, please call
Dominion Towing (703) 978-7990. If you would like to contest the tow or
would like to see the photograph showing the violation, please call or e-mail the
Parking Committee Chair, Joe Underwood, at (703) 323-4710 between 8:00 A.M. and 9:00 P.M. to schedule an appointment.
