Traffic and Parking (read this so you don’t get towed)

City Snow Emergency Routes Go Into Effect at 5:00 PM Today

The National Weather Service is predicting snow accumulations of between 8 and 10 inches. Additionally, high temperatures for each day are not forecasted to reach above freezing throughout the week. Ahead of the anticipated snow accumulation the City is providing this information to local residents.The City will work to clear all priority one and priority two roads within 48 hours.

Be cognizant of signs posted in designated Snow Routes. Parking is prohibited in those areas and towing will be enforced (see below list of routes).

When your street is plowed, there is a chance your driveway will become blocked. It is not the city’s responsibility to remove that blockage.

The city will begin assessing potholes immediately following the snow event. Before asphalt is applied to potholes, the temperature must be above 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

The following is a list of major streets, which have permanently installed snow emergency route signs to restrict parking during snow removal tasks. These are considered the snow emergency routes, which will receive priority for snow clearance/hauling.
