With the projected snowfall forecasted for the remainder of the week, we wanted to share this friendly reminder in regards to on-street parking and sidewalks.

 

10.45.100 Snow Removal – Parking Prohibited 

(1) Parking Prohibited. No person shall park, abandon or leave unattended any vehicle on any public street, alley, or city-owned off-street parking area during the “snow removal season” as designated by the mayor under the provisions of IGCC 10.45.080, if either of the following conditions apply:

(a) That new snowfall has accumulated to a depth of one-half inch or more; or
(b) If snow removal operations have been commenced by the city. If the snow has been removed or plowed from said street, alley or parking area and the snow has ceased to fall, the prohibition on parking contained in this section shall no longer be effective

12.10.090 Removal of Snow, Ice and Accumulation 

(1) It shall be the responsibility of the abutting property owners to remove sow, ice and accumulations promptly from sidewalks. If a property owner does not remove snow, ice or accumulations within 24 hours, the city may do so and assess the costs against the property owner for collection in the same manner as a property tax.
