On-street Parking Prohibited Beginning 11 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2019, Due to Snow

Update: This declaration has been extended through 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 25.

With a winter storm expected, North Liberty will prohibit on-street parking beginning Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2019, at 11 a.m. The prohibition is set to expire on Thursday, Jan. 24, 2019, at 6 p.m. The extended prohibition is to allow crews additional time to clear streets following repeated heavy snows.

Parking on streets is not permitted until the snow emergency declaration has been lifted. Forecasts predict heavy winter weather, and crews will be working to clear roads through the snowfall, prioritizing major travel corridors. During the storm, roads may be slick or impassable; drivers are urged to avoid travel if possible.

Prohibiting on-street parking during snow emergencies ensures city streets are clear for effective snow removal. Any vehicles in violation of the ordinance may be ticketed and towed without notice. Each 12-hour period that a vehicle is parked or remains on any public street in violation of this ordinance constitutes a separate and distinct offense.

Off-street parking for those without available garage, driveway or other paved parking space is available at public parking areas, including the North Liberty Community Center, 520 W. Cherry Street.

Additionally, residents are reminded to they are required to clear sidewalks adjacent to their property within 48 hours of a snowfall, and asked to consider clearing around storm drains, to help prevent ice dams, and fire hydrants, to allow critical unimpeded access in the event of a fire.
