Summary

Full Breakdown
Sec. 70-76 explains the purpose: winter weather between December 1 and March 31 requires plowing all the way to the curb to clear catch basins and prevent flooding and refreezing, which is impossible with cars parked along both curbs, so the city allows overnight parking on only one side of the street at a time, alternating daily. Sec. of the same day; on culs-de-sac, on-street parking is permitted only on even-numbered calendar days. The city manager may declare a snow emergency when current or anticipated winter weather makes it prudent to clear and maintain the streets, and must notify residents by website, publication, or media release; the emergency continues until the city manager declares it ended.
Sec. 70-77(c) makes clear that posted "no parking" signs always control: if the even side of a street is posted no-parking, no one may park there at any time, and during odd-even enforcement no parking is allowed on either side of that street on even days.
Violations & Fines
A violation of this division is a municipal civil infraction carrying a $30.00 civil fine under Sec. 70-78(a), and the parked vehicle is deemed a public nuisance per se under Sec. 70-78(c). Police officers, fire personnel, code inspectors, and other city officials may issue citations; if 48 hours pass after a citation and the vehicle is still parked in violation, the city may order it impounded under Sec. 70-78(d) so the street can be plowed, with towing and storage fees owed jointly and severally by the owner and operator under Sec. 70-79.
