Street Parking During and After Snowfall


The City has posted their annual "Parking During and After Snowfall" guidelines.

To summarize, it states:

Park on Odd-Addressed Side of Street - To allow streets to be plowed more efficiently and effectively, the City of Crestwood allows parking on only one side of the street during snow events. Crestwood Ordinance 14.159 restricts residents to parking on the side of the street with even addresses during winters which begin in even years; and to parking on the side of the street with odd addresses during winters which begin in odd years.

Since the 2019/2020 winter season begins in an odd year, parking will be allowed only on the side of the street with odd addresses during this winter season of 2019/2020.

VEHICLES PARKED ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET DURING SNOW EVENTS WILL BE TICKETED AND REQUIRED TO MOVE IMMEDIATELY

Clearing Your Driveway - The City’s leaders ask residents with driveways and/or garages to use them for parking their vehicles during snow events. Unfortunately, an unavoidable downside of plowing is that snow will be pushed to the right side of the snow plow truck, and always towards driveways. For this reason, property owners may want to refrain from clearing snow from driveways until after the snowplows have cleared the street for the first time.

Snow from driveways should be placed to the sides, not into the streets, to avoid future snowplows from pushing this snow back into driveways.

IT IS SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PROPERTY OWNERS TO CLEAR THEIR DRIVEWAYS AND SIDEWALKS
