Dubuque's Odd/Even Snow Route Parking Policy in Effect Thursday & Friday
DUBUQUE, Iowa – The City of Dubuque's odd/even snow route parking policy will be in effect on Thursday, March 7, and Friday, March 8.
Parking will not be allowed on the "odd" numbered side of the streets on Thursday and parking will not be allowed on the "even" numbered side on Friday. The only streets affected are those identified with snow route signs, which include the times that parking is restricted. The policy’s parking restriction will be enforced during the entire posted and declared time period, with no allowance for parking prior to the end of the posted time period or after a perceived plow pass. Vehicles violating the restrictions will be ticketed and violators fined $30.
Residents who wish to receive an automatic email notification when the odd/even snow route policy is implemented can “subscribe” to do so through the “Notify Me” module on the City’s website at www.cityofdubuque.org/notifyme.
Additionally, the City will continue to use the CodeRED emergency notification system to phone residents who live on the odd/even snow route. CodeRED is a high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications and other important messages that allows geographic targeting of automated telephone calls. Residents with unlisted phone numbers, anyone who has changed his or her phone number or address within the last year, and anyone who uses a cellular phone as their primary phone number should register their number with the service to insure their number is in the database. Additionally, residents can add an alternate number, such as a cellular phone, to their record if they wish. Providing an alternate phone number will cause both the primary and alternate phone numbers to be contacted in the event a call goes out for the address specified. CodeRED allows individuals and businesses to add their phone numbers directly to the database through the Internet. To add a phone number to the database, visit www.cityofdubuque.org/codered [www.cityofdubuque.org/codered] .
