When a Snow Emergency is declared, no vehicle shall be parked on any City street during the emergency. Violators will be ticketed and towed. Please plan to have your vehicle parked off the streets during this Advance Notice.
The Sterling Heights Department of Public Works has been plowing and salting major City roads since Monday. Due to the forecast of continued snow accumulation throughout the afternoon and evening, snow and ice removal efforts on the City’s major roads will continue into Thursday morning in preparation for morning rush hour traffic.
Once snow accumulation ceases and all major roads have been cleared and salted, Public Works staff will commence snow plowing and salting operations on neighborhood roads. During a snow emergency, all Public Works personnel are incorporated into the snow emergency work in order to man, repair and maintain all available equipment around the clock until emergency conditions cease.
