With heavy snowfall affecting south central Iowa, the Indianola Streets Department wants to remind residents of the city snow ordinance policy and other information residents should know. City of Indianola Public Works Director Akhilesh “AP” Pal tells KNIA News he wants to remind residents that parking in city streets can significantly slow the snow plowing operations.
“ It slows down our response to snow removal, so I would certainly request our residents make sure they are not restricting the flow of traffic, so that will help us with the snow removal operations.”
AP also said he requests Indianola residents clear the snow on the sidewalks as fast as conveniently possible to help pedestrians travel, as well as clearing the snow around fire hydrants in the event of an emergency.
