(Prior Code, § 7.03) Penalty, see § 90.999
(A) Council action. No device, sign or signal shall be erected or maintained for traffic or parking control unless the Council shall first have approved and directed the same, except as otherwise provided in this section; provided that, when traffic and parking control is marked or sign-posted, the marking or sign-posting shall attest to Council action thereon.
(B) Temporary restrictions. The city, acting through the Chief of Police, may temporarily restrict traffic or parking for any private, public or experimental purpose. It is the duty of the Chief of Police to so restrict traffic or parking when a hazardous condition arises or is observed.
(C) Traffic restrictions and prohibitions. It is a misdemeanor for any person to drive a vehicle contrary to lane restrictions or prohibitions painted on any street, or contrary to sign-posted, fenced or barricaded restrictions or prohibitions.
(D) Parking restrictions and prohibitions. It is unlawful for any person to park a vehicle, except an emergency vehicle, contrary to lane restrictions or prohibitions painted on any curb, or contrary to sign-posted, fenced or barricaded restrictions or prohibitions.
(E) Damaging or moving markings. It is a misdemeanor for any person to deface, mar, damage, move, remove or, in any way, tamper with any structure, work, material, equipment, tools, sign, signal, barricade, fence, painting or appurtenance in any street unless the person has written permission from the city or is an agent, employee or contractor for the city, or other authority having jurisdiction over a particular street, and acting within the authority or scope of a contract with the city or other authority.
(Prior Code, § 7.04) Penalty, see § 90.999
(A) Ice and snow a nuisance. All snow and ice remaining upon public sidewalks is hereby declared to constitute a public nuisance and shall be abated by the owner or tenant of the abutting private property within 12 hours after the snow or ice has ceased to be deposited.
(B) City to remove snow and ice. The city may cause to be removed from all public sidewalks, beginning 24 hours after snow or ice has ceased to fall, all snow or ice which may be discovered thereon, and it shall keep a record of the cost of the removal and the private property adjacent to which accumulations were found and removed.
(C) Cost of removal to be assessed. The City Administrator shall, upon direction of the Council, and on receipt of the information provided for in the preceding division (B), extend the cost of the removal of snow or ice as a special assessment against the lots or parcel of ground abutting on walks which were cleared, and the special assessments shall at the time of certifying taxes to the County Auditor be certified for collection as other special assessments are certified and collected.
(D) Civil suit for cost of removal. The City Administrator shall, in the alternative, upon direction of the Council, bring suit in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover from the persons owning land adjacent to which sidewalks were cleared, as provided in division (B) above, the cost of the clearing and the cost and disbursement of a civil action therefor.
