No person shall park, abandon or leave unattended any vehicle on any public street, alley, or City-owned off-street parking area during any snow emergency proclaimed by the Mayor, unless the snow has been removed or plowed from such street, alley or parking area and the snow has ceased to fall. A snow emergency parking ban shall continue from its proclamation throughout the duration of the snow or ice storm and the 48-hour period after cessation of such storm except as above provided upon streets which have been fully opened. Such a ban shall be of uniform application and the Public Services Director is directed to publicize the requirements widely, using all available news media, in early November each year. When predictions or occurrences indicate the need, the Mayor shall proclaim a snow emergency and the Public Services Director shall inform the news media to publicize the proclamation and the parking rules under the emergency. The emergency may be extended or shortened when conditions warrant. The provisions of this section shall not apply to the streets listed in subsections 1 – 6 of Section 69.09 of this chapter.
