A press release from City Manager Mark Rohloff's office:
In anticipation of the heavy snowfall expected from late Monday, December 8th through Tuesday, December
9th, the City of Oshkosh is asking residents for help. City Manager Mark Rohloff is asking residents to voluntarily remove their vehicles from city streets from Monday evening, December 8th, through Wednesday, December 10th. This voluntary removal will enable city snowplows to more efficiently and easily clean city streets.
"Until we know the extent of this snow event, we would appreciate it if vehicles could be moved from city streets", said City Manager Mark Rohloff. "This cooperation will facilitate snow removal, and allow public safety vehicles easier access in emergencies."
Residents and businesses are also reminded that no one may move any snow into city streets and the right-of-way. "Aside from the fact that pushing snow onto the street is against city code, it also makes it more dfficult for our snowplow drivers to remove snow and ice from city streets", said Rohloff.
For more information or questions, please contact the City Manager's Office at 236-5000.

This may uhm be a silly question, but ah, just where are those voluntary citizen vehicle removals supposed to place the vehicles that come off the street to help the city?
Why not do alternate side of street plowing/parking? One day allow cars to park (in regularly no-parking side of streets such as over by the university) - on the same day - plow opposite side of street. The next day switch. Or, possibly some other variation. But I don't think especially in that 2 mile radius of the campus where multiple cars parked at one house shared, that people are willing to park their cars in a 2 foot snowbank inthe yard.
