In the event the Mayor determines that because the weather conditions listed in § 72.02 make it necessary to have motor vehicle traffic expedited in the city and parking prohibited he may declare a snow emergency. The Mayor shall cause each declaration made pursuant to this chapter to be publicly announced by means of broad- casts or telecasts from stations with a normal operating range covering the city, and he may cause the declaration to be further announced in newspapers of general circulation when feasible. Each announcement shall describe the action taken by the Mayor, including the time it became or will become effective, and shall specify the streets or areas affected. A designation of primary, secondary, or snow emergency routes shall be sufficient designation of the streets to be affected. A parking prohibition declared by the Mayor shall specify whether it is applicable to primary snow emergency routes only or both primary and secondary snow emergency routes, and shall not go into effect until at least two hours after it has been announced at least two times between 6:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. on any day. However, one announcement in a newspaper of general circulation shall be sufficient. The Mayor shall make or cause to be made a record of each time and date when any declaration is announced to the public in accordance with this section.
