Parking is prohibited on designated snow routes and restricted to one side on all other streets, the side determined by the date.
If you usually park on a designated snow route, you must move your car to a side street while the snow emergency parking plan is in effect so that the way can be cleared to ensure safe passage by emergency response vehicles, such as fire engines, ambulances and police.

Should the snow emergency rules remain in effect on Sat., Feb. 10, parking will be allowed from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on non-snow-route residential streets on the even-numbered address side of the street (east and north sides of street).
