Snow Removal To Cause Traffic Delays on Thursday and Friday

The Streets Division will be conducting snow removal operations on several streets later this week. Snow removal operations will be gin at 9 a.m. on Thursday and Friday and continue as late as 2 p.m. These operations will cause delays for traffic and motorists are urged to find alternate routes.

"We need to clear snow in order to widen the traffic lanes and free up parking spaces," George Dreckmann of the Streets Division said. "This operation involves many vehicles and will tie up traffic."

The snow removal schedule is as follows.

Thursday January 15th

Gorham Street (Few to Butler)
Regent Street Outbound (Breese to Highland)
Allen Street (Regent to Van Hise)

Friday January 16th

E. Johnson Street (Hamilton to Baldwin)
Regent Street Inbound (Virginia to Spooner)
S. Mill Street (Drake to Erin)

Parking is being temporarily restricted on the sections of the affect streets. Bright orange temporary "No Parking" signs have been posted. Vehicles must be moved by 7 a.m. in the areas where snow removal will take place. Violators will be ticketed and towed.
