Can I still be ticketed for failure to remove snow and ice even if I am on vacation or on winter break from school?
Vacations or other planned absences do not absolve residents of snow / ice removal responsibility, so arrangements should be made. Should an unexpected or unplanned absence occur, the City Attorney will consider the circumstances and make adjustments accordingly. If you have any questions, please call Parking & Code Enforcement at (517) 319-6894.
