SIOUX CITY POLICE OFFICERS SPENT MUCH OF WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY DEALING WITH SNOWBOUND VEHICLES.
SGT. JASON ALLEN OF THE SIOUX CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT SAYS A LOT OF VEHICLES WERE FOUND TO BE IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE:
OC………..TEN CARS. :21
SGT. ALLEN SAYS POLICE WOULD PREFER NOT TO GO TO THAT EXTREME, BUT TOO MANY RESIDENTS ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE CITY’S EMERGENCY SNOW ORDINANCE:
OC…….. DURING SNOW EMERGENCIES. ;23
ALLEN SAYS 31 MORE VEHICLES THAT WERE STILL BURIED IN SNOW WERE TAGGED BY 2PM THURSDAY AFTERNOON TO BE TOWED IF THEY AREN’T MOVED.
OC……..MOST PEOPLE THINK. ;17
WHEN A SNOW EMERGENCY IS DECLARED, MOTORISTS MUST PARK ON THE ODD NUMBERED SIDE OF THE STREET WHEN IT’S AN ODD NUMBERED DAY ON THE CALENDAR AND VICE VERSA:
OC………EQUIPMENT CAN BE. :21
EVEN THOUGH RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS FOR YEARS, VIOLATIONS STILL CONTINUE.
THE FINE FOR A SNOW ORDINANCE VIOLATION TICKET IS $30 DOLLARS.
