During the issuance of a snow emergency, vehicles should be removed from emergency snow routes to help facilitate the ability of snow removal equipment to clear these routes as quickly as possible. The emergency snow routes are designated by red and blue signs posted along the street. Additionally, residents can view a map showing all of the emergency snow routes on the City website at www.cityofsidney.org. Type in “snow routes” in the search engine. This will take you to information where you can view a scalable map.
Residents whose vehicles remain on the street after the effective time will be contacted by City emergency personnel and requested to remove their vehicle. Just a reminder that owners of vehicles remaining on the emergency snow routes after the effective time may be cited and/or their vehicles towed away at the owner’s expense.
Also, the City of Sidney would like to remind residents not to place snow from their property on the City streets. This creates traffic hazards and additional problems for the snow removal crews. Please place snow from your sidewalks and driveways on your grass as it is an excellent source of moisture for your lawns.
The City of Sidney would also like to advise residents to avoid any unnecessary travel during the storm.
Any questions regarding this declaration should be directed to Geri Anthony, Interim City Manager, at the City Administrative Offices at 254-5300 or gerianthony@cityofsidney.org.
