Is street parking permitted during snow & ice storms?
Street parking is permitted as normal during snow and ice storms. However, street parking seriously interferes and delays effective plowing operations. With vehicles parked on the street, plows are unable to clear the full pavement width and, in some instances, cannot maneuver through narrow streets and cul-de-sacs. Whenever possible, vehicles should be parked off the street during snow plowing operations.What about sidewalks? Kirkwood residents and businesses are responsible for clearing the sidewalks in front of their property.How is the snow plowed? The city’s vehicles push the snow to the right-hand side of the road. Plows are required to follow the flow of traffic but, when safety permits, cul-de-sacs are plowed to push the snow away from the driveways to the center of the cul-de-sac rather than out toward private property. Drivers attempt to keep residents’ driveways clear of the excess snow from the street. The city does not clear windrows that form across driveways as the city
