Whenever the City Manager finds, on the basis of falling snow, sleet or freezing rain, or on the basis of a forecast by the United States Weather Bureau or other weather service of snow, sleet or freezing rain, that weather conditions will make it necessary to take additional steps related to City streets and sidewalks, including to expedite motor vehicle traffic and to prohibit parking on City streets for snow plowing and other purposes, the City Manager may take those steps deemed in the best interest of safety and the residents, including putting into effect a parking prohibition on all streets as necessary by declaring it in the manner prescribed in this chapter.
Once in effect, a parking prohibition under this section shall remain in effect until terminated by an announcement of the City Manager in accordance with this chapter, except that any street area which has been cleared of snow and ice from curb to curb for the length of the entire block shall be automatically excluded therefrom.
While the parking prohibition is in effect, no person shall park or allow to remain parked any vehicle on any portion of a street, except in an emergency or in compliance with law or the direction of a police officer.
