WINTER ORDINANCES BEGIN November 15th
City ordinances state that from November 15 through February 28, no vehicle of any kind may be parked in the street right-of-way from 1:00 am to 7:00 am. Traffic citations will be issued to violators.
Public works crews have the tricky task of assessing each storm individually with public safety as their top priority. Crews work as safely and efficiently as they can to clear the 200+ lane miles of Farmington roads. Priority roads include those around schools, main arteries, collectors, hills, and school zones. These priority roads take precedence. Residential roads, dead ends, and cul-de-sacs are cleared when conditions allow.
Things that residents can do to help snow removal operations move along safely and effectively include the following: Park all vehicles, trailers, and boats off the streets until the snow is removed. Ridges of snow around vehicles parked on the streets can prevent and/or slow down future snow removal and may even cause accidents if a vehicle hits them. City Ordinance states that from November 15th to the last day of February, no vehicles of any kind may be parked in the street right-of-way between the hours of 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. Tickets will be issued to those who are not in compliance.
Please give salt spreaders and snowplow equipment plenty of room. Drive cautiously and defensively; do not follow too closely – equipment could slide sideways or backward at any time. This will help to prevent cracked windshields and avoid accidents.
Within 48 hours after snowfall stops, citizens are required to remove snow from the public sidewalks fronting their property. Click here for more snow removal information.
