Snow Route Information

Notice

This notice is to remind citizens who live/work on or are adjacent to an Emergency Snow Route that the City Manager can declare a winter storm traffic emergency "whenever snow has accumulated or there is a possibility that snow will accumulate to such a depth that snow clearing/removal operations will be required…" When this occurs, it will be "unlawful to park a vehicle on any street designated as an Emergency Snow Route."

Plan & Prepare

Citizens are asked to plan now, before the snow falls, to locate an alternate site to park vehicles off the street. By City Ordinance, if a winter storm traffic emergency is declared and vehicles are not moved, the vehicles will be towed away at the owner's expense.

To be on the safe side, a general rule of thumb is - when snow begins to fall - move the vehicles.
