The city has drivers in 36 trucks out racing to get as much of the new snowfall off the streets as possible Tuesday before the roads get icy.
Up to 10 inches are anticipated to have fallen on the city by the time the storm is expected to taper off in the early afternoon.
“The forecast in the coming days are for very cold weather, which makes it harder to remove the snow, so it’s critical that our crews are able to clear the snow today,” stated mayoral spokesperson Len Speiller.
“While we don’t want to ticket or tow a vehicle, we also have to ensure roads are safe and accessible, especially for emergency vehicles and on the city’s snow emergency routes.”
The parking ban remains in effect downtown and on the odd side of neighborhood streets. The city issued 202 citations overnight for cars blocking snow emergency routes. It towed 189 vehicles. Click here for a list of free and low-cost parking options.
