For the second time this week, snow routes in the City of DeKalb will be activated. Snow routes will take effect at 6 a.m. Friday.

With a total of more than six inches of snow possible Friday and Saturday, the Public Works Department is preemptively putting snow routes into effect as allowed under Ordinance 51.21. Beginning at 6 a.m. Friday, parking will be prohibited along all streets marked with snow route signs until plow is completed.

All residents, including those who do not live on snow routes, are encouraged to use off-street parking to aid snow removal.

The activation of snow routes comes as DeKalb is under a Winter Storm Watch from 3 a.m. Friday until 12 p.m. Saturday.
