Snow Removal

Snow removal is performed by Public Works personnel on all City accepted streets. During storm conditions the City may call for a parking ban. If a parking ban is imposed it may be identified for only the major arterial streets and the downtown areas These areas are signed and a map is provided below identifying these critical routes. Where a parking ban is imposed on the whole city, citizens are directed to park only on one side of the street. That side is the "EVEN" numbered structures. The ban affects the "ODD" numbered side of the street.
