Full Breakdown
City Code § 10.20.010 defines a 'snow event' as one inch or more of snow accumulating on the public right-of-way. From November 1 through March 1, on-street parking is allowed only on the even-building-number side of the street during a snow event and for 24 hours afterward, clearing the odd side so plows have room to work. Exceptions cover posted no-parking zones on the even side, divided roads, brief loading or unloading stops, emergency vehicles, and a chief-of-police-approved all-night parking authorization for unusual circumstances.
Violations & Fines
Parking on the restricted side during a snow event violates § 10.20.010; the registered owner is presumptively liable under § 10.20.070, and Title 10 violations default to a class C misdemeanor under § 10.04.090.
