All RVs and vehicles were inside the lot within an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The move followed several notices from the city to clear Winston Drive ahead of a planned repavement project.

Not come here and cause chaos, damage or any of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Tuesday, August 6, city workers used chalk to mark the location of RV wheels on the street. At the new location, RV residents face a 72-hour parking rule. On Winston Drive, residents only needed to move their RVs once a week on Tuesdays for street cleaning.
