Any vehicles parked on Fieldston streets that do not have a parking sticker, guest permit, or note at the time of your event, are subject to towing. FPOA members may at no time give permission to non-members to use FPOA streets for commuter or school parking, or for any other reason.
FPOA by-laws state that parking privileges are reserved for members in good standing only. Homeowners who are in arrears on their dues are subject to having their parking privileges revoked.
