The City's Public Works Director can declare a Snow Emergency when predicted weather events may present particular hazards and/or impact public safety.

Per Ordinance 10.28.010, the Snow Emergency notice requires residents to move cars off of the Posted Snow Routes until the Snow Emergency is declared over.

Vehicles parked on Posted Snow Route during a Snow Emergency will be ticketed and may be towed. Signage along posted snow routes reflects this requirement.

The most reliable way to know when a Snow Emergency is declared is to sign-up for alerts at www.davenportiowa.com/alertiowa. 

Use the Snow Plan tab on our main page to find out more about Posted Snow Routes.

Streets marked as Posted Snow Routes can be viewed on the map below.
