Vehicles must be removed from public and private parking lots immediately following the cancellation of the snow emergency.

We would also like to thank you in advance for shoveling your sidewalks and ask that you also clear the snow around the hydrants near your property so that they can be accessible to firefighters in case of an emergency.
