Everything else
Snow and parking
- It is unlawful to place or cast any substance, including snow, into a city street (Ordinance 4-5-160C).
- Daytime street parking is prohibited while it is snowing, and parking violations are enforced with fines whether it is snowing or not (City Code 11-20-050). On-street parking keeps plows from clearing roads properly.
- The department asks residents to slow down, clear sidewalks and ramps around their property, and help neighbors who cannot clear their own snow.
Director’s message
- Fixit requests rose 40% over the prior year, and the average time to resolve one was cut in half, with most finished by the next workday and no new staff hired.
- Many roads were reconstructed and given preservation treatments last year, largely because of heavy construction traffic from the new freeway project.
- The Syracuse Reservoir was completed and used for the first time in 2024, which significantly improved system pressure for sprinkler systems.
- New flashing sign crosswalks were installed on Bluff Road, 1000 West, 2400 West, 4000 West, and 700 South, along with protected crosswalks and better lighting for trail and school access.
- More capital projects are planned for 2025, including the Sand Ridge Parkway widening to 2700 South. Other projects will be announced once approved.
- Residents can get construction updates by subscribing to Public Works notifications through the Notify Me feature on the city website.
