This Saturday is Dec. 1 which also happens to be the first day of odd/even parking in the City of Wyoming.
The odd/even parking allows for more effective snowplowing of the streets in the winter, according to city officials.
From Dec. 1 to Mar. 31, residents should park on the side of the street with even numbers (addresses ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, 8) on even number days and on the side of the street with odd numbers (Addresses ending in 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) on odd number days. Residents living in a cul-de-sac may only park on the street on even number days. Streets with “No Parking: signs still have no parking restrictions. There is a grace period form 7 p.m. to midnight every evening when residents can park on either side. Just make sure to move your car to the correct side by midnight.
According to the city’s website, Wyoming has approximately 250 miles or 600 lane-miles of streets. Streets are prioritized with major streets that have the most traffic, such as 44th and 28th streets, plowed first, then collector streets plowed second, and finally, residential streets and cut-de-sacs third.
Sidewalks are plowed at night after there has been two or more inches of cumulation. Residents are asked to keep the sidewalks clear of obstructions such as garbage cans and parked vehicles.
More information can be found on the city’s website.
