Wednesday Afternoon City Snow Update

The City of Spokane has just upgraded to a Stage 2 Snow Emergency. That means crews will work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until they complete a full-City plow that includes all residential areas. The City has also called in private contractors to help with the snow removal effort.

By 8:30 p.m. tonight, citizens in residential hill routes—routes 20 and above must move their cars so they are parked on the even side of the street. By 4:30 a.m. tomorrow, Thursday, Dec. 30, citizens in all other residential areas must move their cars so they are parked on the even side of the street.

Additionally, parking is restricted in downtown between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. to facilitate plowing there. And no parked cars are allowed on arterials or STA fixed bus routes. Here's the link to the residential plow map for more information.
