Parking Bans: The City of Lincoln declared a Snow Emergency that began at 3 p.m. Thursday, January 11. One parking ban began at 8 p.m., Thursday, January 11:

• A snow emergency parking ban means parking is banned on both sides of emergency snow routes, arterial streets, school and bus routes. Maps of these routes are available at lincoln.ne.gov/snow under the “Parking Bans & Ordinances” tab. Please plan for alternate parking to allow crews room to clear the way safely and efficiently.

A residential parking ban will begin at 6 a.m. Friday, January 12, in anticipation of forecasted conditions that may benefit from residential plowing.

• A residential parking ban means that parking is banned only on the even numbered side of residential streets during 2024. This will assist snowplow crews in clearing neighborhood streets faster and more efficiently. A residential parking ban applies to streets that are not emergency snow routes, arterials or bus routes or included in a snow removal district.
