Moving parked cars helps snow removal, avoids citation

Galva residents are reminded that it's illegal to park vehicles and trailers on curb and gutter streets in the city within eight hours after a snowfall of one inch or more, unless the snow has been plowed or otherwise removed from the street.

Parking on non-curb and gutter streets that will impair snow removal by city personnel is also a violation of city ordinances.

If the street is not cleared of snow within the eight hours, the no-parking restriction continues until the snow is removed from the street.

Violators are subject to towing at the owner's expense, and citations may be issued.
