The Winter Parking Ban is designed to keep streets open, safe, and essential traffic moving during snow storms. Residents are discouraged from parking on the street during any snow storm and are encouraged to plan ahead for alternative off-street parking. Parking is prohibited on any street in the residential areas from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.and in the downtown areas from 12:00 midnight to 6:00 a.m. This prohibition allows snow removal crews to effectively clear city streets of snow and restore them to operate efficiently. Vehicles parked on the street will be towed at the owner’s expense to an impound yard. Call Central Dispatch at 802-524-2166 to pay for and pick up your vehicle if it is towed while parked in violation of the winter parking ban. The Winter Parking Ban is in effect between Dec. 1st and April 1st -- if your vehicle is on the street during a snowstorm or snow removal event, your vehicle will be towed and ticketed at your expense. Feel free to call PW Director Marty Manahan at 802-309-1134 with any questions.
