The City of Rock Island has declared a Snow Emergency effective 7 p.m. Wednesday, December 21. 

Once snow depth has reached two inches, parking is not allowed on any marked snow routes until the snow has stopped and has been cleared. Vehicles parked on marked snow routes can receive a $35 parking ticket and may also be towed. 

To facilitate snow removal, the City is requesting that Rock Island residents not park on residential streets until snow removal is completed.
