Neighborhood Street Clearing Program
Moves to Downtown/ Near North Area
The Police, Fire and Public Works Departments announce the continuation of the phased snow clearing program to facilitate emergency access throughout Sioux City. The clearing of snow from the street to the right of way will allow for timely response to residences and locations to set up once the public safety personnel are on site.
On January 28 and January 29, snow clearing will take place in the following neighborhood; Downtown/Near North (Hamilton Blvd, Floyd Blvd, south of Stone Park Blvd/27th St). Parking will be allowed on one side of the street for a 24 hour period (7AM to 7AM) each day. There will be parking allowed on the even numbered address side of the street only on January 28. On January 29, parking will be allowed on the odd side of the street only. To ensure the street is cleared, vehicles must be moved during these times. The Police Department will work closely with Field Services throughout this effort and vehicles that are not in compliance will be towed.
This effort will also allow for the access and opening of the inlets to the storm sewer system so the melted snow can drain away. City utility crews will be following the street clearing with the focus on opening all inlets in low areas that could cause flooding issues if we have a major melt or rain in the upcoming weeks. The other inlets in the areas will be addressed as time allows.
Police, Fire, and emergency personnel consider street clearing a major priority in the City as the need to get emergency vehicles, especially large fire trucks down City streets is imperative to public safety. We thank citizens for their cooperation and patience throughout this major street clearing effort. Citizens are requested to keep their vehicle off of the restricted side for the full 24 hours as City Crews may need to return for additional clearing. Citizens are reminded not to blow or push the snow from their property into the street as it delays the overall clearing effort.
Please refer to the STREET CLEARING link on the City’s website at www.sioux-city.org to review current press releases related to the Street Clearing Program. The Link is located on the left side of the home page.
