The city requests residents take the following actions:

• Please park vehicles OFF-STREET — in driveways and residential parking lots — to give crews quick and safe access to treat roadways.

• Please clear and treat sidewalks promptly for safe pedestrian access.

• When clearing driveways, pile snow off the street, to the left of the driveway (facing the driveway from the street). Consider waiting until after plows clear the road at your driveway, so you don't have to clear any of the plow's unintentional snow/ice spillage.

City government service information will be updated as needed, so please check back as the weather event continues.
