Parked Cars Slowing Snow Clearing Process, City Says

Street cleaning enforcement remains suspended citywide until further notice.

Street cleaning enforcement has been suspended citywide until further notice.

Crews have had difficulty navigating around vehicles parked during cleaning hours, but the city will not be issuing tickets for street cleaning, according to a Nixle alert released Tuesday afternoon.

"Unfortunately, because many vehicles remain parked during street cleaning hours, there is insufficient space on most streets to maneuver the payloader needed to clear ice from parking lanes," the alert said.

Crews plan to continue clearing open parking spaces, catch basins and corners ahead of another storm that is expected to produce heavy rain on Friday.
