City of Rockford issued the following announcement on Jan 6.
It's been awhile since we've seen some good snowfall, here are some friendly reminders.
The time snow removal begins depends on the start, and end times of the snowfall, and its intensity. In a perfect situation snow plowing begins between 3am-4am. There is a no on-street parking ordinance from 2am-6am until April 14.
It is important to not allow your children to play in snow piles near the road. Children get excited to tunnel through the large piles of snow left behind by plows. These piles can collapse and trap children and passing snowplows could hit the pile injuring children inside. Snow removal operations can be in effect at any time during the winter, so there really is no safe time to play in these piles. Encourage children to use park facilities or backyards for their snow activities.
When any snow or ice ceases to fall during the daylight hours, it needs to be cleared from the sidewalks within 24 hours after such cessation. When snow or ice ceases during the night time, it needs to be cleared from the sidewalks by 6:00pm of the following day.
