The City of Lincoln has announced a snow removal parking ban that will be in effect Wednesday through this Friday. The ban will be in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7 a.m. each day. Parking is banned on both sides of the street, including metered stalls, in areas designated as snow removal districts.
Snowplow crews will plow snow within business districts into rows, load into trucks and haul out of the area overnight. To assist with snow removal, parking is prohibited on both sides of the streets in the districts.
Snow removal districts include:
- Downtown
- University Place
- Havelock
- Bethany
- College View
- 11th and “G”
- 17th and Washington
- 25th and Sumner
To assist downtown residents during parking bans, free parking is being offered from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. over the next three days at Center Park Garage, 1100 “N” St. and Green 2 Garage, 530 “P” St. Customers will be charged the posted rate for any time beyond those hours. Vehicles that remain in the garage past noon will be charged for the entire time the vehicle was in the facility.
LTU Director Liz Elliott says crews continue to address icy streets caused by subzero temperatures following two winter storms that left nearly 9 inches of snow in Lincoln. “Crews are out treating arterial streets, school and bus routes with granular salt pre-wet with brine today to help de-bond snow packs and ice from Lincoln’s streets,” says Director Liz Elliott.
“Overnight, our team will focus on clearing out large piles of snow in business districts. We are making progress and are already starting to see some de-bonding of ice on portions of arterial streets with the higher temperatures today.”
LTU winter operations crews are applying the salt-brine mix while responding to service requests on arterial and residential streets that may have been missed, need cleanup due to drifting snow or need additional material applied on icy areas.
