Snow and Ice Removal
A reminder that property owners and occupants are required by city law to clear sidewalks abutting their property of snow or ice within 24 hours after the snow and ice have stopped falling. Failure to do so could result in the city doing it and charging you. (Section 116-8) NOTE: The city does not plow alleys. Also, please adopt a fire hydrant by shoveling it for the Fire Department.
Parking
No vehicle may be parked on city streets without a permit between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. (Code 101-27). Special winter parking restrictions are posted on streets. In case of anticipated storms, listen to radio-TV for special changes.
Off-Street Parking
Parking shall not be in the front yard or on grass. Vehicles without license plates shall not be parked for more than 30 days at a residence. The total number of motor vehicles parked outside a residence shall not exceed four. On-street parking is not governed by this code. (Code 295-505).
Garbage Carts
Owners and tenants shall return garbage carts to their proper storage locations before 10 p.m. on the day they are serviced. (Code 79-5). Note: older adults and disabled persons can arrange to have carts returned by sanitation workers. Call the alderman's office. State law prohibits putting grass clippings, branches and garden debris in the garbage. Leave clippings on the lawn to decompose and nourish the soil, or compost them. Or, take to a Self-Help Center.
