With 863 cul-de-sacs and 300 miles of city streets, snow removal can be a complex task. Tune into a video with Street Manager Gary Smith as he discusses Plymouth snow plowing operations with Channel 12 staff. Watch the video on YouTube.
Winter Parking
To improve snow plowing efficiency, residents are reminded of the winter parking ordinance. Parking is prohibited on streets after a 2 1/2-inch snowfall until the street has been plowed to the curbs. Violators may be tagged and towed. Plymouth also has a year-round ordinance that prohibits parking on city streets from 2-5 a.m.
The city asks for residents' cooperation on a few additional items:
- Do not shovel, plow or blow snow into the street. Blowing snow in the street makes it more difficult to clear streets (particularly cul-de-sacs).
- Please keep mailboxes clear to ensure mail delivery.
- If it is likely that streets will be plowed on collection day, place garbage and recycling containers 5 feet back in the driveway to prevent waste from being scattered.
- Please clear snow and ice around fire hydrants.
