Be Careful Where You Park

City of Rock Island

With several inches of snow in the forecast, cities in this area will be declaring snow emergencies. And that means be careful where you park your car. 

In Rock Island, for example, once two inches of snow have fallen, parking is not allowed on any marked snow route until the snow has stopped and the street has been cleared. 

The rules are similar in Davenport and other cities, and you're asked as much as possible not to park on residential streets to help crews clear the snow faster. 

In downtown Davenport, parking ramps will be free during the snow storm until Sunday morning.

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
