SNOW REMOVAL EMERGENCY DECLARED
STURGIS – The City of Sturgis has declared a city-wide snow removal emergency effective Saturday, January 31, 2015 effective at 10 p.m. due to forecasted snow accumulations of greater than four inches.
By ordinance, during a declared snow removal emergency parking is prohibited on all City streets. Under Sec. 58-155 of the City of Sturgis Code of Ordinances, any vehicle that is parked in violation is subject to being issued a citation with a fine of $50.00 and towed with all expense from the towing charged to the vehicle owner. Such towing may occur at any time during the duration of the snow removal emergency. We will begin towing vehicles if they remain on the roadways.
The parking prohibition is effective until the snow storm ends and your street has been cleared of snow between two successive street intersections or if the City terminates the declaration with a public announcement.
