1. What are the winter parking regulations?

From November 1 though April 1, City streets need to be free of parked vehicles during the hours of midnight to 5 AM or any time it snows two or more inches, day or night, until the streets are plowed. A good rule of thumb is to not park on City streets any time measurable snow is forecast.

Numbers are handed out at 9 AM and trees are handed out at 10 AM. There are typically three to four tree varieties available.

4. How do I request a traffic sign?

Each year, the City receives requests for traffic control signage. The City investigates the area to determine if additional signage or enforcement is necessary. The City has found that "Children at Play" signs, "Stop" signs, and additional speed limit signs are generally ineffective in controlling speeders because the offenders often live in the immediate area. Although enforcement may be an immediate solution, the most effective overall method is for all drivers to take special care to observe posted speed limits, especially in the presence of children.
