Citizen Snow Removal Reminders

 

Moscow, Idaho, December 30, 2008 - The City of Moscow, like many areas of the Palouse and Pacific Northwest, has received a considerable amount of snow this winter and as a result there is a large accumulation of plowed snow on some City streets and sidewalks.  

 

To aid in clearing the streets of plowed snow, the City would like to remind residents that under Moscow City Code, vehicles are required to be moved every 48 hours or they may be cited, towed and impounded.  When residents move their vehicles on a regular basis, City Street Crews are able to plow the roadways more efficiently and thoroughly without leaving snow berms around vehicles.  This allows the City to maintain at least two lanes open for traffic on the public streets and reduces the likelihood of traffic incidents.    

 

Moscow City Code also requires property owners to keep sidewalks clear of snow to allow safe traversing by pedestrians in the City.  Please make every attempt to keep sidewalks clear.  The City recognizes there are some residents that are not able to clear their sidewalks.  In an effort to help those citizens the City of Moscow Police Department is looking for citizen volunteers to assist in clearing sidewalks.  Any individual interested in volunteering or in need of assistance should call the Moscow Police Department at 208-883-7054.
