Due to the forecast of a major winter storm event, the City of Sidney has declared a snow emergency effective at 5:00PM, Tuesday, March 8, 2022. The snow emergency shall remain in effect until further notice.
During the issuance of a snow emergency no vehicles shall be parked or remain to be parked on any portion of an emergency snow route. The issuance of a snow emergency is 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 snow removal policy and 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 will be contacted by City emergency personnel and requested to remove their vehicle. In the event that vehicles remain on the emergency snow routes after the snow emergency declaration, owners of these vehicles 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 like to request residents to limit travel unless it is an emergency.
Questions regarding this declaration should be directed to Police Chief Aikens, at the Police Department, at 254-5515 or joe.aikens@sidneypd.org.
