IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - UPDATE 2/18/21: The Idaho Falls Street Division has completed snow removal operations associated with the recent weather event.
All parking restrictions are lifted, effective immediately.
“Moving vehicles off the road during snow removal speeds up the process significantly,” Public Information Officer Kerry Hammon said. “We know that finding alternative parking is an inconvenience for many and thank those who continue to comply with the restrictions."

Officials say the city’s accumulation of snow has exceeded two inches, which qualifies as a snow event under snow control policy.
The parking restrictions will remain in place until the city issues another notice to officially lift them. Vehicles should be moved off the streets to allow room for plows to clear the roads.
Vehicles parked on streets after a snow event is called will be subject to ticketing and relocation of the vehicle in accordance with the city’s snow removal parking restrictions.
