REMINDER: WINTER PARKING RESTRICTIONS
Snow and ice removal on our city’s streets are time-consuming. On-street parking is not compatible with safe and efficient snowplowing operations. Vehicles left parked on the street create problems for snowplows as well as safety problems with packed snow and ice accumulation around the vehicle. To perform the best job in the quickest amount of time, we need the cooperation and assistance of our citizens.
“No Parking” will be enforced after two inches or more snow has accumulated on any public street or alley until the city has plowed the public street or alley curb to curb (Ordinance Sec.46-80).
Vehicles parked in violation of these rules shall be tagged and subject to towing, at the owner’s expense.
