Dearborn Declares Snow Emergency

DEARBORN, MI – Dearborn has declared a snow emergency, effective at 9 p.m. Friday. After that time, all parked vehicles must be removed from Dearborn streets to allow for safe and efficient snowplowing.

Vehicles parked in the streets will be ticketed. Tickets are $80.

Outdoor warning sirens will sound at 9 p.m. Friday to announce the snow emergency. Sirens may sound again at 10 p.m. Friday and again Saturday morning as a reminder that parked vehicles must be off the streets. The snow emergency remains in effect until further notice.

Parked cars should be kept off the street, even if they have been plowed once, until the snow emergency is over.

To assist residents who live in neighborhoods where there are few if any driveways, the city has created special snow emergency parking areas where cars can be moved to. Click here for maps and a list of streets where parking is allowed.

Residents are also allowed to use the parking lots of city parks without penalty during a snow emergency.
