It is hereby found and declared to be in the best interest and
welfare of the general public to expedite the removal of snow, reduce
driving hazards and to ensure open roads for the movement of emergency
vehicles during snowstorms, flood, serious fire or other extreme public
emergency.
A.
The Mayor shall prepare and may, from time to time, amend a list
of Village streets which he designates as snow routes, indicating
the name of each said road. Such list and any amendments thereto shall
be filed with the Village Clerk-Treasurer, who shall cause such list
or amendments thereto to be published once in the official newspaper.
Such snow routes shall take effect upon publication and shall continue
until modified.
B.
The Mayor may declare a state of snow emergency whenever, in his
judgment, snow has created dangerous driving conditions within the
Village. During the existence of a snow emergency, no vehicle shall
be parked or abandoned upon the snow routes.
The Mayor may declare a state of emergency in cases of flood,
serious fire or other extreme public emergency whenever conditions
resulting therefrom create a dangerous driving condition within the
Village. During the existence of such emergency, no vehicle shall
be parked or abandoned upon that portion of the public highway or
highways affected by the conditions resulting from flood, serious
fire or other extreme public emergency.
Any vehicle parked or abandoned in violation of the provisions of this article shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation of traffic and may be removed and impounded as provided in Article V of this chapter.
