Parking restrictions in effect as of 2am Friday
MEDFORD
- The City of Medford is declaring a snow emergency to go into effect
at 2 a.m. on Friday morning. As staff works throughout the early morning
and into the day prepping and removing snow from the roadways, please
be patient as many departments, including the Department of Public
Works, are experiencing staffing issues due to the spread of the Omicron
variant. The City is working diligently to ensure that this storm is
dealt with swiftly and efficiently.
Parking restrictions will go into effect at 2 a.m., including:

secondary roads, parking is allowed on the ODD side of the street only.
Cars parked on the even side of the street during snow emergencies will

street. There is signage posted on these main arteries, and a full list
