As Culver officials prepare for a winter storm this week, they remind residents to keep vehicles off of the emergency routes so plows can clear roads.
Culver Town Manager Ginny Bess Munroe stated that should the town council president declare a snow emergency, vehicles can be towed if parked on the roads on the emergency route.
According to the town’s ordinance, a snow emergency may be declared when three inches of snow or more have fallen, or when snow, ice, sleet or other weather conditions jeopardize the flow of traffic.
The following roads are part of the town’s emergency route.
Academy Road (from Slate Street to the town limits)
College Avenue (from Slate Street to Lake Shore Drive)
Jefferson Street (from Main Street to SR17)
Lake Shore Drive (from Slate Street to SR10)
Main Street (from Chadwick Shore to Lake Shore Drive)
Mill Street (from Main Street to State Road 17)
Ohio Street (from South Main Street to Lake Shore Drive)
School Street (from Lake Shore Drive to SR 10 and 17)
Slate Street (from Mill Street to Academy Road)
Any vehicle parked in violation of this schedule may be towed away and impounded at the owner’s expense. A $100 fee may be assessed if anyone is in violation of the ordinance.
