Mayor Chris Beutler has declared a snow emergency parking ban for the City of Lincoln. It will take effect at 6 p.m. this evening. At that time, parking will be banned on both sides of the street on emergency snow routes, bus routes and other major arterial streets. A map showing these routes can be found on the City website. The ban will remain in effect until further notice.

Residents are urged to make plans now for off-street parking.

At 8 p.m. Sunday, streets crews began anti-ice brine application on the City’s emergency snow routes, bus and school routes and other major arterials. City crews are also preparing material spreaders and plows in anticipation of the predicted storm. City crews will work in 12-hour shifts and will be prepared to respond to events as needed as the storm unfolds.
