Windsor mayor expunges parking tickets given at funeral

Windsor’s mayor has expunged parking tickets that were given during a funeral.

Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens has expunged parking tickets that were given at a funeral service.

A post about parking tickets made its rounds on social media over the weekend, noting around 70 people parked on the grass next to Harvest Bible Church in Windsor were given tickets.

They were at a funeral for a 22-year-old man.

Pastor Christopher Eelman told AM800 that 800-900 people were at the service, but only 275 vehicles can park in the lot.

The tickets were cancelled after the mayor reviewed them.

“If there are circumstances where you know you are likely to have a huge turnout, let us know in advance,” Dilkens said.

“I know it’s imperfect, you won’t always know. But if you let us know in advance, we would make sure we didn’t even issue the tickets.”
