Residents And Visitors Urged To Remove Vehicles Parked On Downtown Fargo Avenues

Press release from the City of Fargo:

January 3, 2021

Fargo Public Works crews will focus on completing snow removal on the east/west avenues in the Downtown Fargo area beginning the evening of January 3 into the morning of January 4. In order to accomplish this, operators require sufficient space to properly remove snow.

Beginning at 2:00 a.m. on Monday, January 4, vehicles parked on the downtown area’s avenues will be impounded in order to ensure crews can complete snow removal efforts. This includes all avenues between 2nd Ave. S. and 7th Ave. N. from 2nd St. to University Drive. The downtown area’s streets 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. Visit Fargo Parking for information about available parking.

Additionally, Fargo Public Works requests the public’s assistance in affording equipment and crew members sufficient room to remove the snow. Please stay a safe distance from the equipment hauling snow, especially in the downtown area where congestion is greater.

The City of Fargo appreciates the patience of its residents and visitors as it works around the clock to recover from this snow event.
