Officers will be enforcing 24-hour parking violations. If your vehicle has been parked on the city street for more than 24 hours, it must be moved.
Officers will begin writing parking tickets for these violations which could result in your vehicle being towed. 24-hour parking enforcement is enforced year-round; however, the violations are very evident with snow covered vehicles. Snow covered vehicles can also pose additional concerns for police and fire personnel when emergency situations arise.
Parking is prohibited on BOTH sides of the streets in district parking areas found here snow.lincoln.ne.gov.
Sidewalks/Driveways
City ordinance requires property owners to clear snow and ice from sidewalks by 9 a.m. the day following the end of the snow storm. Sidewalks must be kept clear of snow and ice during the day. The entire width of the walk must be cleared, along with any adjoining wheelchair ramps or curb cuts. For more information or to report locations not cleared, contact the Transportation and Utilities sidewalk office at 402-441-7541.
If a property owner does not clear the walk and a complaint is received by the City sidewalk office, notice will be given to the owner. City ordinance requires written notice to be left on the front door or other conspicuous place on the property. If an unresolved problem is reported again, the City may hire a snow removal contractor, and the owner is responsible for the charges.
It is illegal to push or blow snow into or on any street, alley or sidewalk. Violators are subject to a fine.
Residents are encouraged to clear snow from fire hydrants.
