(Atlantic, Iowa) – Officers with the Atlantic Police Department have begun issuing citations for vehicles that remain on City streets, in violation of the City Snow Ordinance. Police Chief Devin Hogue says, “In an effort to assist the street department with continuing to clean up the streets, we ask that everyone please get vehicles moved that have not since the snowfall this weekend.” According to City Code, “parking is limited to 24-hours” on any public street, alley or City-owned off-street parking area, following the cessation of snowfall.
Hogue said “Due to the frigid temperatures, officers have not been addressing this issue, however, if your vehicle is parked on the city street and resembles the one in the photo, it needs to be cleared off and moved.”
