Monday evening.

Beginning at 8:00 P.M. Monday evening, all normal parking rules and regulations are temporarily suspended.

It is mandatory that you remove your vehicle from the side of the street with odd numbered buildings. Cars parked on the street can only be parked on the EVEN NUMBERED SIDE OF THE STREET for the 24-hour period beginning at 8:00 PM Monday evening.

DO NOT PARK ON THE ODD NUMBERED SIDE OF THE STREET FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS! Parking there will result in your vehicle being towed and ticketed. Snow removal equipment will proceed to remove snow from the odd numbered side of the streets, throughout the City, for the next 24 hours.

After 24 hours from the time the SNOW EMERGENCY goes into effect, the parking restrictions reverse. BEGINNING AT 8:00 PM ON TUESDAY EVENING DO NOT PARK ON THE EVEN NUMBERED SIDE OF THE STREET FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS!
