Important Ordinances: Snow Routes

Following a snowfall of two inches or more, parking is prohibited on streets designated as posted snow routes until snow removal procedures are completed.

Following a snowfall of four inches or more, parking is prohibited on all streets until snow removal procedures are completed. Violators' automobiles will be towed at the owner's expense.

It is illegal to shovel or plow snow or ice against a fire hydrant or regulatory sign, or onto the sidewalk or street. Apartment or multi-unit residence owners are responsible for clearing off-street parking spaces and parking lots within 12 hours after a four-inch snowfall. Violators are subject to fine.

Although there is no ordinance requiring it, residents will not only assist police and fire personnel but can be of service to themselves by clearing snow away from nearby fire hydrants to allow quick location and access to the hydrant in the event of a fire, and by clearing snow off of house numbers and mailboxes so that addresses are visible in the event of an emergency.
