City of Idaho Falls working on plowing roads, parking restrictions remain in place

IDAHO FALLS — Snow removal efforts are underway in Idaho Falls and the city is asking locals for their help.

Parking restrictions remain in place for all Idaho Falls roads until a notice is issued lifting the restrictions, according to a city news release. Community members are asked to move their vehicles off the roadways to avoid ticketing or towing.

“Snow removal operations are inconvenient for many but have the greatest impact on those with properties on older, narrow, one-way roads with limited parking,” Public Information Officer Kerry Hammon explained in a news release. “While we currently do not have the capability to give all property owners exact dates and times for plowing, we can provide a timeframe for Zone A and downtown to help ease some of that burden.”

The updated plowing schedule and zone map, which is specifically important for those living in and around the numbered streets (Zone A), can be found below:

ZONE A

Zone A is a relatively small area located in the center of the city. It’s colored green on the zone map and will be plowed over a two day period:

• North and south streets on Sunday, Dec. 20 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• East and west streets on Monday, Dec. 21 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

ZONE B

Zone B is currently being plowed and will continue to be plowed until completion. Zone B is the majority of the city and is colored yellow on the zone map.

DOWNTOWN

Downtown will be plowed during the early morning hours of Saturday, Dec. 19 from midnight to 7 a.m. to minimize the impact on businesses. Downtown is colored gray on the zone map.
