The following is a news release from the city of Idaho Falls.
IDAHO FALLS — The city of Idaho Falls has completed snow removal activities associated with the recent winter weather event. As a result, the parking restrictions have been lifted, effective immediately. Crews will continue clean up in certain areas during regular shifts.
The Public Works Department and the Idaho Falls Police Department would like to thank residents and the traveling public for their cooperation during this process.
This time only 245 vehicles were towed over the weekend for being in violation of the ordinance. This is significantly lower than the 400 towed vehicles during the last major snow event at the start of the month.
“Remember that when it snows 2 inches or more to seek additional information about snow removal operations and possible parking restrictions, either through local media or the city’s notification systems,” city spokeswoman Kerry Hammon said.
Information can be found by tuning into local media outlets; going to the homepage of the city’s website, Facebook and Twitter pages; and/or subscribing to the city’s email Notify Me system found on the city’s website. Another great way to stay informed is by subscribing to text alerts; simply text ifalerts (one word, plural) to 91011.
