The Drake neighborhood is one of five neighborhoods established as an Odd/Even Side Snow Parking Zone, due to limited off-street parking. Other Odd/Even Side Snow Parking Zones are Carpenter, Drake Park, River Bend, and Sherman Hills neighborhoods. Citywide and odd/even plowing will occur as determined by the public works director based on total accumulation, prevailing conditions, and near future forecasts.

• Snowplowing operation in odd/even neighborhoods will occur only between the hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• Odd or even calendar days of the month are matched with street addresses ending in odd or even numbers. (i.e., odd numbered days, vehicles should be parked on the odd side of the street)
• Vehicles must be on the correct side of the street by 7 a.m. to avoid a ticket.

Vehicles parked on the street will receive a $35 fine and may be subject to towing. Tickets can be appealed using the parking ticket appeal process.

If you wish to know when parking is prohibited on residential streets, text DMSNOW to 96000. If you wish to receive text messages, including notification of the parking requirements in the Odd/Even Side Snow Parking Zones, text DMODDSNOW to 96000. Standard text messaging rates apply.
