The City of Salem has declared a Snow Emergency effective Monday, February 8, 2016 at 9:00 am until 8:30 pm.
Parking will be allowed in the downtown emergency district until 12:00 noon.
Update February 8, 2016 4:40 pm:
The snow emergency will be lifted at 8:30 pm. It is important that all cars be removed from all school lots promptly following the snow ban being lifted. Crews need to clear the lots for school tomorrow. Please keep cars off the streets until 8:30 to allow crews to finish city streets. We are actively enforcing the parking ban at this time.
Again, if your vehicle is in a school lot after 8:30 p.m. you will be ticketed and subject to towing.
All vehicles must be removed from the streets; failure to do so may result in ticketing and towing.
