City of Sheridan Streets Superintendent Mike Kuzara told Sheridan City Council the amount of snow Sheridan received last winter was nearly twice as much as a typical winter season. According to the City of Sheridan, City employees missed family events to serve the community this past winter ensuring roads were plowed and clear for traffic.
This led City leadership to begin a discussion to propose an ordinance that would allow the city to implement odd-even parking to clear snow more efficiently and effectively during the winter. This new plan for snow removal has since been adopted by the City.
This new plan would provide a straight, alternating route down city streets and would allow plow operators to reach more streets in less time as well as reducing the amount of fuel used by the City.
City Councilmembers Shawn Day and Terry Weitzel made an appearance to discuss the plan and the strategy to inform residents of the new changes.

The Everbridge Mobile App allows residents and visitors to receive public safety information based on their current location. Day said this application will allow City leadership to alert residents to snow alerts and which side of the street will need to be used for parking and how to get the app on your device.
Councilman S. Day
The app is available on the Apple Store and Google Play.

Checked the app on Google Play and read the comments and it doesn’t look very promising. Rated as garbage and a waste of time. Hope it works better for us in Sheridan. Would be willing to give it a try.

Wonder if they will enforce the campers being stored along the streets. One in particular in the 500 block of W Loucks…the temp tag blew off some time ago and it has sat for months out front of their house. Was supposed to have plates in July.
