BLOOMFIELD IOWA -- The City of Ottumwa Snow Emergency Ordinance will go into effect at 5:30 PM today, Monday, January 10, 2011. Residents are reminded that while the Snow Emergency is declared, no parking is allowed on streets designated as “Snow Routes” until the emergency is lifted. Snow Routes are marked with a square blue signs with a white snowflake.
Parking on non-snow emergency route streets rotates sides on a daily basis. On the even numbered days, parking is allowed on the even numbered side of the street. On the odd numbered days, parking is allowed on the odd numbered side of the street. The Snow Emergency will remain in effect until further notice.
During snow storms, City Public Works crews focus on keeping the snow routes and major streets open through the duration of the storm. This allows essential and emergency travel around town even in the worst of conditions. Once the snow stops, the focus shifts to clearing the side streets and residential areas.
Bloomfield Mayor Chris Miller has proclaimed a snow emergency effective at midnight, Monday, 1/10/2011.
Pursuant to City Ordinance 69.11, no one shall park a vehicle on any city street (including the square) during the duration of the snow emergency.
The parking ban is effective until the snow has ceased falling and the street has been completely opened.
Violators will be ticketed and/or towed.
