Dear Resident:
Due to the increased incidents of vehicles parked on the street after a snowfall accumulation of 1 inch or more, we find that we must adopt an ordinance to prohibit parking during those conditions.
We had tried to avoid having to institute the parking restrictions, but we find that after a snowfall accumulation of 1 inch or more; vehicles parked on the street causes a safety hazard that prevents emergency vehicles such as police, fire trucks and ambulances in addition to our trucks from entering the street to plow the snow.
Thank you for your cooperation.
