Gaithersburg Declares Snow Emergency
Effective Noon, February 5 Parking Regulations to be Strictly Enforced Effective at Noon on Friday, February 5, 2010, the City of Gaithersburg has declared a snow emergency. With the current forecast calling for significant accumulation, the snow emergency will allow the Public Works Department better access for clearing residential streets and ensuring that emergency vehicles can travel on City roads.
The emergency will be lifted as soon as road conditions warrant. Mandatory removal of cars from snow emergency routes and cul-de-sacs will be in effect during the snow emergency. Failure to comply could result in ticketing or towing. The City will be strictly enforcing NO PARKING THIS SIDE OF STREET during the snow event as well.
Residents are also reminded of Gaithersburg's Streets and Sidewalks Ordinance (Chapter 19-1), which requires residents, property managers and businesses to clear snow and ice from sidewalks abutting their property within twelve hours of the last snowfall or freeze. This is often easier to accomplish if done during or immediately following the weather event.
