Snow Removal

December 2023 Media Release about Snow Removal

Snow removal operations start in November and usually end in April, depending on snowfall. In addition to the Town rights-of-way (Town property), sidewalks in the Core Area of Town and a majority of bike paths are included in our snow removal operations. During these operations there are NO PARKING restrictions in place to provide safety to residents and their vehicles, snow removal vehicles, and Public Works employees. Please see the list of NO PARKING restrictions below. All vehicles that are in violation of these restrictions are subject to towing (at owner’s expense) in accordance with Ordinance Section 177-6 of the Traffic Code. We ask that NO PARKING restrictions are followed, so that we can do our best to make the streets safe for travel.

Property Owner’s Responsibilities

  • It is the property owner’s responsibility to keep sidewalks clear of all snow and ice, and placing, dumping, or pushing snow onto Town streets, alleys, or rights-of-way is prohibited by Town of Frisco, Ordinance 127-38.
  • Our goal is to have all streets plowed by early morning for your safety. During plowing operations, snow berms will be created across private driveways. It is the property owner’s responsibility to remove these berms, and place the removed snow on their property. The snow may not be placed back onto Town streets, alleys, or right-of-way.
  • Private contractors must place snow on the property that they are plowing. Placing, dumping, or pushing snow onto Town streets, alleys, or rights-of-way from adjacent properties is prohibited by Ordinance 127-38.

Parking

There is no parking on Town streets, alleys, or right-of-way during designated times:

  • Core area of Town including Main Street, Granite Street, Galena Street, and the adjacent alleys and avenues: 2:00am – 6:00am
  • Residential Streets/Alleys: 12:00am – 6:00am

Illegally Parked or Abandoned Vehicles

Top report illegally parked or abandoned vehicles, please call Summit County non-emergency dispatch at 970-668-8600.

Overnight Parking

There are currently two lots in Frisco that accommodate overnight parking.

  1. The West Main Street “Kayak” Parking Lot is located on the west end of Frisco Main Street and is an official overnight lot. This lot is located next to I70/exit 201.
  2. Marina/Summit Public Parking Lot is located on the southeast corner at the intersection of Marina Road and Hwy 9/Summit Boulevard.

Overnight Parking Regulations

  • Overnight parking is allowed for 24 hours maximum.
  • A person may call Summit County non-emergency dispatch at 970-668-8600 and request a “no tow” when parked somewhere other than the two designated overnight parking lots. The Town will make every effort not to tow these vehicles, but snow removal needs may result in the vehicle being towed and the owner of the car will be cited and responsible for a towing fee.
  • Each lot will have signs indicating when a lot will be plowed. Please pay attention to these signs to avoid citations and towing.

Street Design and Access Criteria

Current design standards for construction which encourages conscientious and responsible development may be found in the Town’s Street Design and Access Criteria.

What is Town Right-of-Way?

Right-of-way is defined as a legal right established by usage/grant to use a specific route through grounds or property belonging to another individual. Town of Frisco right-of-way measure between 60-85 feet in width, and as a general guideline the Town uses 20 feet on each side of the pavement for public utilities, street maintenance, drainage, and snow storage. Please be aware that snow removal operations require use of the full width of asphalt and the 20 feet on each side of the street.
