"We appreciate your assistance in removing vehicles from these streets as street personnel keep our streets passable," said Harnishfeger 

Here are a few tips from the Village of Ada:
• Please move cars to off street parking.  Off street public parking is available on a first come, first serve basis at the Railroad Depot and behind the Municipal Building. 

• Keep refuse/recycling containers off the streets. Plow crews can be more efficient and safe in their jobs with fewer obstructions in the roadway.

• Follow the Ada Police Department on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Ada-Police-Department-180046255368699) for local snow emergency updates.

• If you don't have to be on the roadways, don't be!  Plow crews will work as needed throughout the storm; it is safer and more efficient for everyone if we let them do their jobs with as little traffic as possible.
