Editor's Note: This ordinance also superseded
former Ch. 167, Parking During Emergencies, adopted 11-3-1980 by Ord.
No. 8021.
A.
Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such
that it covers the street or highway, an emergency shall exist, and
no vehicle shall be parked on the following streets or highways or
portions thereof:
|
Street
|
Location

Burk Avenue

North side between Little Rock Avenue and Dorset

B.
The above parking prohibition shall remain in effect
after the snow has ceased until the streets have been plowed sufficiently
and to the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal
flow of traffic.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in
violation of this chapter shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace
to the safe and proper regulation of traffic, and any police officer
may provide for the removal of such vehicle. The owner shall pay the
reasonable costs of the removal and storage which may result from
such removal before regaining possession of the vehicle.
The effectiveness of this chapter is contingent
on signs being erected as required by law.
