Residents and visitors urged to remove vehicles from Downtown Fargo streets Monday into early Tuesday

(Fargo, ND) -- Fargo Public Works crews will focus on completing snow removal on the north/south streets in the Downtown Fargo area beginning Monday evening into the morning of Tuesday. In order to accomplish this, operators require sufficient space to properly remove snow.

Beginning at 2 a.m. on Tuesday, vehicles located in no-parking areas on the downtown area’s north/south streets will be impounded in order to ensure crews can complete snow removal efforts. This includes all streets between 2nd Ave. S. and 7th Ave. N. from 2nd St. to University Drive. The downtown area’s east/west avenues will be legal to park on at that time.

Residents are encouraged to utilize available parking in the City of Fargo’s parking ramps and surface lots in the downtown area. Parking in select locations is free after 5 p.m. and on weekends.

Additionally, Fargo Public Works requests the public’s assistance in affording equipment and crew members sufficient room to remove the snow.

You're asked to stay a safe distance from the equipment hauling snow, especially in the downtown area where congestion is greater.
