No More Room For Snow In Defiance

Too much snow, and no place left to put it. That’t the sit­u­a­tion in down­town Defi­ance, and it’s prompted Defi­ance Mayor Bob Arm­strong to declare a snow emer­gency and down­town park­ing ban so city crews can begin to remove snow from the down­town.

Park­ing is pro­hib­ited on most down­town streets overnight until the clean up is done. Any vehi­cle parked on a street marked for cleanup will be removed and impounded at the owner’s expense and the owner will then be sub­ject to a fine of $25.

City offi­cials also ask down­town Defi­ance mer­chants to shovel side­walk snow to the park­ing lane so city crews can remove it easier.
