SYRACUSE -- If you're headed into the Westcott area, keep your eyes open for new "Tow Away Zones." Syracuse Police are cracking down on parking violations in that neighborhood.
Because of persistent parking problems, the City of Syracuse is turning some Westcott streets into "Tow Away Zones." These are the streets on the list:
-100-200 blocks of Dell Street
-700-800 blocks of S. Beech Street
