Notice

This notice is to remind citizens who live/work on or are adjacent to an Emergency Snow Route that the City Manager can declare a winter storm traffic emergency “whenever snow has accumulated or there is a possibility that snow will accumulate to such a depth that snow clearing/removal operations will be required…” When this occurs, people will be asked to not park a vehicle on any street designated as an Emergency Snow Route.”

Snow Routes:

– Kansas from 8th to 1st

– Caldwell from 17th to Airport Entrance

– Center from 12th to 8th 

– Cherry from 17th to Highway 24

– 8th Street from Highway 27 to Eastridge

– 9th Street from Center to Caldwell

– 12th Street from Highway 27 to Harrison

– 17th from Cattletrail to Cherry

– 1st from Kansas to Grand

– Toelkes Avenue

– Maple Avenue

– Arcade from 18th to 2nd

Plan & Prepare

Citizens are asked to plan now, before the snow falls, to locate an alternate site to park vehicles off the streets marked as Emergency Snow Routes. By City Ordinance, IF a winter storm traffic emergency is declared and vehicles are not moved, in extreme instances the vehicles could be towed away at the owner’s expense.

To be on the safe side, a general rule of thumb is – when snow begins to accumulate or is expected to be more than 3 to 4 inches- Go ahead and move the vehicles.
