Parked vehicles must be off the streets to allow for efficient and safe snowplowing. Sidewalks should not be blocked. Tickets will be issued to owners of parked vehicles left on the streets. No warnings are issued.

Southeast Michigan was blanketed with several inches of snow on Wednesday, beginning around noon and continuing throughout the day.

Generally, in Dearborn, residents may park vehicles back on the street once it has been plowed curb to curb and no further heavy snowfall is expected. However, note that crews may return to clear roads again if conditions require it.

Driveway aprons may become blocked during snowplowing operations. City crews cannot go back to clear blocked driveways. Do not pile snow back into the cleared street. Do not pile or discard snow on any public property, street right-of-way, sidewalk, alley or parking lot. Do not discard snow on another person's property without their permission.
