Night Plow Routes are plowed from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. the night a Snow Emergency is declared. Downtown streets are Night Plow Routes. Day Plow Routes have no plowing signs. They're plowed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and normally following night plowing. There are some exceptions to these rules, but they're all well marked.
Parking is banned until snow is plowed all the way to the curb.
The City now tickets and tows cars before the plows begin. Towing can result in substantial towing and storage fees .
