City of Oshkosh asks residents for help during snow removal: December 23-25, 2008

Following is a press release from the City of Oshkosh, issued earlier this morning:

In anticipation of the heavy snowfall expected in the Oshkosh area for the next several days, the City of Oshkosh is again asking residents for help. City Manager Mark Rohloff is asking residents to voluntarily remove their vehicles from city streets from Tuesday, December 23rd through 7 a.m. Thursday, December 25th. This voluntary removal will enable city snowplows to more efficiently and easily clean city streets.

“Once again, due to the anticipation of more snow we would appreciate it if vehicles could be moved from city streets”, said City Manager Mark Rohloff. “Less vehicles on the streets will allow our crews to better facilitate snow removal and help provide easier access for public safety vehicles during emergencies.”

Residents and businesses are also reminded that no one may move any snow into city streets and the right-of-way. For more information or questions, please contact the City Manager's Office at 236-5000.
