A winter parking restriction will go into effect today, Friday, December 17th at 8 am. Parking will allowed only on the odd side of non emergency streets. Parking will be allowed on both sides of Snow Emergency routes with the EXCEPTION of Bryant and Grand Avenues. Special No Parking signs will be posted beginning this weekend, Dec. 18 & 19th on the even side of BRYANT Avenue from Lake Street to 50th Street and on GRAND Avenue from Lake Street to 48th Street. Both of these streets are narrow enough that they pose problems for emergency vehicles, buses, and other drivers.
Both the Bryant and Grand Avenues restrictions along with the Winter Parking Restrictions will remain in place until April 1 unless conditions allow the City to lift the ban earlier.
Last weekend’s historic blizzard created significant amount of snowfall that has left streets severely narrowed, making it challenging for fire trucks and other emergency vehicles to navigate.
