Winter Parking in Rochester

20.

If this winter storm does what we expect in the hours ahead, the snow plows will be out tonight..

Kimt news 3's samantha soto joins us live to explain rochester parking rules so you won't get ticketed or plowed by a plow..

George ?

"*?

"* alternate side parking is in effect meaning on even calender days you park on the even address side of the street, and on odd calender days like today, you park on the odd address side.

Rochester public works began this plan last year, and it is in effect october 1st through may 1st.

This is to allow snow plows to navigate streets easier and get them clear of snow.

The grace period during which you are urged to move your car is from 2am to 3pm.

In a snow emergency ?

"*?

"* pa could be further restricted.

For example in the downtown area, during a snow emergnecy?

"*?

"* you can't lea your car on the street from midnight "this is kind of an encouragemen t to get cars off the street and if you can't at least get them moved everyday so the plows can come and get the streets cleaned up."

If you have any garbage or recycling containers ?

"*?

"* rochester public works advises you to keep them off the streets and in your driveways to reduce the risk of any damage.

And rochester public works has a website offering information about snow removal and seasonal parking regulations.
