Any vehicles on the road past 10 a.m. could be ticketed and towed.

The city said it takes crews about 24 hours to clear the roads after a storm has stopped, but a significant snowfall and changing weather conditions could cause delays.

Main roads are plowed first, followed by secondary roads and residential streets last. The city’s sidewalks and paths usually take about three days.

Residents can follow along with the city’s efforts by using their Plow Tracker map and signing up for email alerts.

The city said residents can help clear sidewalks near their property along with keeping fire hydrants and storm drains clear of snow.
