Public Works crews in Fargo, North Dakota are continuing snow removal efforts after a weekend snowstorm. Residents are being asked to remove their vehicles from downtown north-south streets on Monday night into Tuesday morning to allow crews to complete the snow removal process.

Why it matters

Effective snow removal is critical for maintaining safe and accessible roads and sidewalks in Fargo during the winter months. The city's downtown area is a major commercial district, so ensuring the streets are cleared is important for businesses and residents.

The details

Beginning at 2 a.m. on Tuesday, vehicles located in no-parking areas on Downtown's north/south streets will need to be moved to allow crews to complete the snow removal. This includes all streets between 2nd Avenue South and 7th Avenue North from 2nd Street to University Drive. Downtown's east/west avenues will be legal to park on at that time. Residents are encouraged to use the city's parking ramps and surface lots, some of which offer free parking after 5 p.m. and on weekends.
