Winter Parking

Winter is here! Please remember the winter parking ordinance remains in effect until April 1st with no parking on city streets between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. Adhering tothe parking ordinance helps our Public Works Dept. keep our streets clear and safe during winter months. Remember, vehicles parked on the road during or after a snow storm impede snow plowing and may be towed at the owner’s expense. Home owners are responsible to remove snow from sidewalks in front of their home and private driveways. Although it can be inconvenient to remove snow pushed in front of driveways by the snow plows, our drivers cannot prevent this. Please avoid pushing/ shoveling snow back into the roadway after it has been plowed. Everyone will enjoy the winter season more by working together and lending a hand to those who need help removing the snow. Thanks for your cooperation!
