The Idaho Falls Police Department is ticketing and towing vehicles that have not been moved to clear the way for snow removal equipment.

They’re currently in Zone A, which is the center of town between S Capital Avenue & S Holmes Avenue, and W Elva Street & E 25th Street.

The Street Division is plowing Zone A over the next two days (Jan. 1-2) from 8am-5pm.
