With the winter weather moving in, the City is reminding all residents of our Snow Ordinane:

🚫No parking on city streets during snow removal operations. This helps our city crews clear the roads quickly and safely.

Please keep sidewalks shoveled and accessible.

Clearing your sidewalks ensures safe passage for neighbors, kids walking to school and emergency personnel.

Your cooperation keeps our community safe and moving during winter weather. Thank you for doing your part.

Stay safe and warm!
