Winter Parking Regulations
Just a reminder that vehicles may not be parked on any city street between the hours of 2:00 AM and 6:00 AM from November 1 through March 31. Violating vehicles may be impounded and their owners charged for all costs and penalties. Please help our crews keep the streets clear by parking off-street.
Snow Plowing
It takes a tremendous effort by the Coopersville Department of Public Works to keep our streets well maintained during the winter months. Please help by remembering to follow the winter parking ordinance so streets can be snow plowed. Do not shovel or blow snow into the street. Clear sidewalks of snow and ice within 24 hours after snow has fallen and accumulated.

Sidewalks
Residents must keep their sidewalks clear of ice and snow so that people can walk on them safely. Snow must be cleared within twenty-four hours after it has fallen or has accumulated. If you do not have sidewalks you must clear a path where a sidewalk would be. The owner of an unoccupied land or business is responsible for their sidewalks. If you don’t take care of them, the city may do it and charge you for it.
