1. How do I find out if a snow emergency has been declared?: The City does not declare snow emergencies.

Parking is prohibited on public streets after a snowfall of at least 2 inches until snow has stopped falling and the street has been plowed to the curb (or edge of the street if there is no curb).

2. I am having remodeling done in my home and, due to the dumpster in my driveway, I am asking the contractors to park on the street. Can you make sure they don’t get tickets?: During a snowfall of 2 inches or more, no on-street parking is allowed until the street has been plowed curb-to-curb. This includes contractors. The parking restriction is in effect to allow plow operators to clear the entire street of snow so the street can be returned to normal winter conditions as quickly as possible. Vehicles parked on the street not only hinder this process, they also reduce the efficiency of the plow trucks.
