3. Increase or change the current ordinance "No Parking" time restriction from "3:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m." to "12:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. ". Majority of all public works plowing operations starts at midnight and ends before 7:00 a.m. In addition, provided is the current Snow Plowing Policy for both cities of Lauderdale and Falcon Heights. One thought would be to modify our ordinance to reflect or to become more uniform with the other two cities, considering we do the enforcement for all three cities. City of Lauderdale Restrictions after Two -Inch Snowfall: No person shall park any vehicle on any street north of Larpenteur Avenue for a period of forty eight (48) hours, commencing immediately after two inches (2 ") or more of continous snowfall, or until snow removal has been completed on that street, whichever occurs first. (Ord. 16, 4 -27- 1993). City of Falcon Heights (a) Purpose and policy. The purpose of this section is to regulate the parking of motor vehicles on the public streets of the city during periods of snow removal. Any motor vehicle parked on a public street of this city during a period of snow removal, as specified in detail herein, is declared to be a public nuisance which interferes with and impedes the orderly removal of snow from said streets, interferes with and impedes the safe movement of emergency and other vehiclular traffic, and is thus a danger to the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of this city. (b) Parking restriction during snow removal. Parking of a motor vehicle on an unplowed public street or within 30 feet of an intersection shall be prohibited. The term "snow removal period" means for a maximum of 72 hours commencing after a snowfall where at least two inches of snow has accumulated on the public streets of this city or until snow plowing has been completed on each street.
