Richfield Snow Parking Ban Goes Into Effect Nov. 1

The ordinance will be in effect until April 15, 2013.

With snowflakes falling on Thursday afternoon, it's the perfect time to remind residents that Richfield's snow parking ban ordinance will go back into effect as of Nov. 1 and last until April 15, 2013.

If you want to avoid a ticket or your car being towed, here are a few things to know about the ordinance:

  • The ban takes effect after two or more inches of snowfall.
  • Snow removal crews can begin plowing and Police can begin tagging and towing at any time after the snowfall.
  • Once the streets are plowed from curb to curb, vehicles can be parked again.
  • As a precaution, remove vehicles from the street when two or more inches of snow are predicted.

In addition, Richfield Public Works says it is also illegal to place your trash carts and cans in the street, alley or on the sidewalk, as this also interferes with plowing initiatives.
