SIGOURNEY — Beginning Monday, March 30, the City of Sigourney will implement weekly street sweeping on the downtown square, requiring vehicles to be removed during early morning hours each Monday.
According to a notice sent to business owners and residents by City Clerk Ashley Fry, parking will be prohibited on designated streets from 1 to 7 a.m. every Monday to allow for street cleaning. The restriction applies to portions of Marion Street, Washington Street, Main Street, and Jefferson Street within the square.
The policy is outlined in Sigourney City Code 3-3-28, which regulates stopping, standing and parking in specified places. The ordinance prohibits parking during the designated hours for street maintenance and also applies at any time when snow accumulation reaches 2 inches or more.
The affected areas include:
Marion Street from Stuart Street to Shuffleton Street
Washington Street from Stuart Street to Shuffleton Street
Main Street from Elm Street to Spring Street
Jefferson Street from Elm Street to Spring Street
City officials said the restriction is necessary to ensure effective street cleaning and to maintain safe and accessible roadways.
Business owners and tenants located on the square are responsible for ensuring vehicles are removed during the designated times.
Questions about the ordinance or its enforcement can be directed to Sigourney City Hall at 641-622-3080 or by email at ashley@sigourneycouncil.com
