Snow Emergency Dec. 21 - 24

Update as of 9:30am Dec. 23:

New day, new reminder. The current snow emergency is in effect through noon tomorrow, Saturday Dec. 24. This means that cars should not be parked on city streets or they will be marked to be towed. It is dangerously cold outside, if you don't have to travel - stay home and keep warm Thank you for your cooperation!

Update as of 2:00pm Dec. 22: 

Public Works is reporting an excessive amount of cars parked on the streets during this snow emergency, making it much more difficult to effectively plow. They have marked the majority of vehicles in violation of the parking ban with a warning for today, being as it is the first snow emergency of the season. After today, vehicles will be subject to towing. Please remove all parked cars from city streets through Saturday December 24 at 12pm noon.
