In these areas, snow is plowed into rows, loaded into trucks and hauled out of the area overnight. To assist with snow removal, parking is prohibited on both sides of the streets in the districts.

To assist downtown residents during parking bans, free overnight parking is offered at Center Park Garage, 1100 “N” St. and Green 2 Garage, 530 “P” St. (beginning at 2 p.m. today) until the ban is lifted or until noon, Sunday, January 31. Customers will be charged the posted rate for any time beyond those hours. Vehicles that remain in the garage past noon will be charged for the entire time the vehicle was in the facility.
City operations: 80 City and contractor crews continue plowing residential streets and are 70 percent complete. Residential plowing is expected to be complete at midnight Wednesday. As crews complete their residential assignments, they will re-plow arterial routes. Twenty crews are plowing and applying granular salt pre-wet with brine to arterial streets, school and bus routes.
