Date: November 23, 2004
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: ADDING ALAN DRIVE (FROM FIFTH STREET TO NORTHWESTERN
AVENUE) TO THE SNOW ROUTE LIST
BACKGROUND:
During the recent annual evaluation of snow routes, it was discovered that, while Alan
Drive is shown on the Snow Route Map, there is no ordinance designating the street as
being a snow route.
Designating streets as snow routes allows plowing operations to proceed much more
efficiently and effectively. Stopping, standing, or parking a vehicle on a street
designated as a snow route is prohibited when a public announcement is made placing
the snow ordinance into effect. Parking on snow routes is prohibited from the time the
snow ordinance goes into effect until snow removal operations have been completed.
Vehicles found parked in violation of the parking prohibition are subject to being ticketed
and towed. The cost of the tow is the responsibility of the vehicle owner.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to develop an ordinance to add Alan Drive (from Fifth
Street to Northwestern Avenue) to the Snow Route list.
2. Do nothing, and delete Alan Drive (from Fifth Street-to Northwestern Avenue)
from the Snow Route Map.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt alternative
number one above, and direct the City Attorney to develop an ordinance to add Alan
Drive (from Fifth Street to Northwestern Avenue) to the Snow Route list.
