PURPOSE The purpose of Sections 22.7 through and including Section 22. 10 of the Municipal Code is to provide procedures for ordering the location of the vehicles parked on City streets so as not to impede the progress of snow removal equipment endeavoring to clear the streets of snow and to provide for the tow-away of vehicles so stopped, standing or parked as to constitute safety hazards by impeding the passage of vehicles on the streets or the removal of unsafe accumulations of snow and ice. Sec. 22.8. SNOW ROUTES Stopping, standing or parking of vehicles upon a street or streets designated as snow routes, except as required at inter- sections or otherwise to avoid collision, shall be and is hereby prohibited at any time when snow-removal operations are in pro- gress on said streets and before such operations have been com- pleted for said streets by plowing the snow to the side of the street. Vehicles found to be parked in violation of this ordinance shall be cited for said violation and, to obviate the safety hazards occasioned by incomplete snow removal, be summarily towed on orders of a police officer to some place where the vehicle may be lawfully parked or to the City impoundment lot. The costs of such towing shall be assessed to and paid by the operator or registered owner of the vehicle. The officer ordering the towing shall keep a notation as to each vehicle towed, the place to which it is taken, and by whom. Sec. 22.9.

OTHER TOW-AWAY ZONES FOR SNOW REMOVAL (1) Vehicles parked in violation of the provisions of Section 18.22(1) of this Code shall be towed when found so parked after posting of snow removal, tow-away notice signs or boxes for a period of at least eight hours, so that those high density com- mercial areas can be cleared of snow to prevent aggravated traffic congestion and impedence of emergency vehicle access in a location where the consequences of such congestion or impedence could be of especially severe impact on public safety and well-being. (2) After especially heavy snow accumulations, the City Manager may post other streets with snow removal, tow-away notice signs, and cause the towing of vehicles parked contrary to such notice posted for more than twelve hours when such is deemed necessary to enable City crews to clear out snow from areas that had numerous parked cars or which for some other reason could not be effectively cleared of snow by ordinary snow plowing operations, so as to obviate the occurrence or continuance of a special hazard caused by the said condition." Section Three. Violation of the provisions of this ordinance shall constitute a simple misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00) or by imprisonment not to exceed thirty (30) days.
