City Is Ready For First Snowfall
11-12-2010
The City of Golden Valley is ready for the season’s first snowfall and asks residents to prepare as well by brushing up on City snow removal and parking ordinances.
To keep traffic moving, City crews first plow main collector and arterial streets that connect neighborhoods to state and county roads. The City calls a snow emergency after snow accumulates to two inches or more; however, several consecutive snowfalls of less than two inches may also qualify.
Parking is prohibited on public streets after a snowfall of at least two inches until snow has been plowed to the curb line. Vehicles in violation are cited by patrolling police. Vehicles found to be obstructing traffic or snow plows, and those still in violation after 24 hours, may be towed.
Stay informed of weather forecasts and move your vehicle from the streets whenever snow is in the forecast. The City of Golden Valley also emails or texts snow emergency alerts–sign up here. The Snow Emergency option is at the bottom of the list, under the subhead “Streets and Utilities.”
