Snow Policies
1. Snow Parking Ban
Parking in the street is not permitted
when snow reaches a depth of two
inches or more. This is to enable plows
to safely clear streets of snow.
2. Sidewalks
City ordinance requires residents
to clear sidewalks, including corner
property curb ramps, of snow, ice,
and slush by 9 am the day after
a snowfall. If the snow on the
sidewalks reaches at least 6”, the
City will plow after streets are
cleared and when crews are available.
3. Driveways
Homeowners must clear their own
driveways; snow removal contractors
must be registered with the Police
Department and clearly display permits.
Snow may not be pushed into the street,
onto sidewalks or medians, or onto
another person’s property. Please be
aware that City street plowing will result
in some snow pushed onto driveway
aprons. Homeowners will need to clear
their aprons.
4. Fire Hydrants vs. Snow
During times of heavy snowfall, fire
hydrants need to be cleared of snow.
Temporary Sign Ordinance
All temporary signs in residential
districts must be removed or
replaced after 45 days. Signs may
not be located in the public right of

feet from the nearest sidewalk.
