Odd/Even Snow Routes

The City of Dubuque's odd/even snow route parking policy affects 34 miles of Dubuque's most heavily traveled streets. Prior to the policy, cars parked along streets have made it difficult for our crews to plow curb to curb. Some streets became hazardous to drive due to narrowing widths. The snow route parking policy allows crews to plow the streets more effectively, improve driving conditions, and provide better on-street parking.

After snowfalls of three or more inches, when announced, the program requires odd / even parking along the designated routes. When in effect, parking is prohibited on the even numbered side of the streets on the even days of the month, and on the odd numbered side of the streets on the odd days of the month. The parking restrictions are enforced from 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. or 1:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.


Implementation/Enforcement

Implementation/enforcement of the odd/even snow route parking policy will be announced at least six hours in advance through area news media, including CityChannel Dubuque (117.2 and 8 on the Mediacom cable system). Vehicles violating the restrictions will be ticketed and fined $50.
