Notice to Residents: Winter Snow Removal Schedule As temperatures drop, the Public Works Department reminds residents that winter parking rules are now in effect on all city streets. Between November 15 and April 1, overnight parking is banned on posted snow routes from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. so plows can clear the roads fully. Vehicles left on these routes during a snowfall may be ticketed or towed at the owner's expense. Snowplows follow a set priority order: main roads and bus routes are cleared first, followed by school zones and hospital access roads, and finally residential side streets. Crews aim to clear priority routes within four hours of a snowfall ending, while side streets may take up to twenty-four hours depending on storm severity. Residents are asked not to shovel or blow snow back onto the road, as this creates hazards for other drivers and can result in a fine. Sidewalks in front of homes and businesses must be cleared within twelve hours of snow stopping. Residents who are elderly or have mobility issues can request free sidewalk clearing through the city's snow angel volunteer program. For real-time plow tracking, residents can check the city's website or download the mobile app, which shows which streets have recently been cleared. Questions about the schedule can be directed to the Public Works hotline.
