Emergency snow routes are kept clean for Police, Fire, and Ambulance vehicles for emergency travel. After 2 inches of snow has fallen, City plows begin to clear these routes and continue to clear until the snow ends. Any vehicle parked on a snow route, once a snow emergency has been declared will be ticketed and towed at the owner's expense. Snow routes are to be kept clear of vehicles until snow stops falling and the final clearing is completed.
Residents are required, by City ordinance, to clear sidewalks (including the crossing alleys and driveways) within 48 hours after any fall of snow or freezing rain. Notice to keep sidewalks free from snow and ice need not to be given personally but may be given through the annual newspaper annually. After 72 hours of the weather event, the City will have the snow/ice removed and charge the cost to the property owner. Snow should not be deposited on any sidewalk, streets, or park. It should not interfere with the passage or vision of vehicular or pedestrian traffic.
