It is dangerous and challenging to plow narrow streets that are congested with parked vehicles. Plowing around parked cars limits the effectiveness of snow removal activities. Some narrow streets may not be plowed if equipment cannot safely drive down them. The most helpful thing residents can do to facilitate snow removal is to move vehicles off the street and encourage their neighbors to do the same.
In order to facilitate the effectiveness of snow removal, private parking is not allowed on any borough town site street during snow removal operations. This protects vehicles from being plowed in or damaged during snow removal. Vehicles left parked in areas of snow removal will be towed and ticketed (Haines Borough Code 10.44.010).
