§ 72.54. PROHIBITION OF PARKING ON ARTERIAL AND RESIDENTIAL STREETS.
Latest version.
Whenever the Mayor or City Engineer shall find, on the basis of falling snow, accumulated snow, sleet or freezing rain, or on the basis of an official forecast by the U.S. Weather Bureau of snow, snow accumulation, sleet or freezing rain that weather conditions will make it necessary that parking on arterial and residential streets be prohibited or restricted for snow plowing and other purposes, the Mayor or City Engineer may put into effect a parking prohibition on a part of or all of any arterial or residential street by declaring that emergency conditions exist and that all parking be prohibited on both sides of any arterial or residential street or by declaring that parking be prohibited on one side of the arterial or residential street, designating either the odd or even address numbered side, at the Mayor or City Engineer’s discretion. In such declaration of emergency conditions, the Mayor or City Engineer shall state the time that the emergency shall be in effect, and from the time so designated, all parking of motor vehicles on arterial or residential streets shall be prohibited. While the prohibition is in effect, no person shall allow to remain parked any motor vehicle on any portion of an arterial or residential street designated herein. Once in effect, a parking prohibition imposed under this section shall remain in effect until terminated by declaration of the Mayor or City Engineer, who may then declare that there shall be in effect a parking prohibition on the opposite side of those arterial or residential streets designated herein, which prohibition shall remain in effect until terminated by declaration of the Mayor or City Engineer.
