Snow Routes

From December 1 to March 31 parking is prohibited 24-hours a day on streets designated as ‘No Parking Snow Route.’ These streets are marked with signs. Restrictions are in place so ice control and snow clearing equipment can safely service the streets.

The restriction is in effect daily, and tickets can be issued to vehicles parked on the street between 12:30 and 7:30 a.m., regardless of weather and street conditions. The restriction may be declared prior to January 4, if it is deemed necessary by the Deputy City Manager of Public Works.

24-Hour Parking Restriction
