Feburary 5th - Snow Storm and PARKING BAN information
February 5th - 4pm Update on the Winter Storm Mayor Toni N. Harp has announced plans for
a PARTIAL PARKING BAN on POSTED SNOW
ROUTES (including all Downtown Streets) to allow snow removal equipment
better access to city streets and arteries. The parking restrictions are
intended to streamline the city’s response to today's snowstorm.
There will be an 8 hour parking ban in place beginning
Saturday at 2am and going to Saturday at 10am. The ban
will include the city’s posted snow emergency routes and all of
downtown (bounded by Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, State Street, Grove
Street, and Howe Street). The
parking ban will be strictly enforced. Map

Do NOT park on either side of the street in the
Downtown Do NOT park on either side of the street on all posted
snow routes
We are asking residents who are not on a posted snow route or downtown, to park on the Even Side of the street - there is not a residential parking ban but this will greatly improve clean up operations. Remember: Don't be the odd car on the block, park on the even side.
Stay
ahead of the storm and secure your emergency parking space before a
storm! Help our community cleanup effort by talking to your neighbors and
sharing off street parking. Together we can get our city moving again.
The Granite Square Garage (FREE) and Temple Street Garage
($3/day) will be available for residents and offer parking beginning Friday evening from 6pm until Saturday at noon. For garage location information, find more on
the Park New Haven website: http://www.parknewhaven.com/
Additionally, all New Haven Public School lots are available to be made available for residents to park their vehicle off of the street. We ask that you remove your cars by noon on Saturday in order to facilitate clean-up and regular activities at our school. For a map of all the school lots near you: http://bit.ly/NHVschoollots
If parking your vehicle in a school lot or garage, be sure to
empty out any personal possessions as it is probable your vehicle will be
inaccessible until streets and parking lots have been cleared of snow. We are
also asking that all owners of cars sign up to be notified by the City of New
Haven's alerts system for when they should remove their cars in the near
future.
To stay up to date on all the latest storm related
information and any parking bans that will be in effect, sign up for the
Emergency Notification Alert System. It's a free and effective way to stay
informed and receive time sensitive updates via automated messages on
your home, cell, business phone, email, text message, hearing impaired or

CTTransit bus service is expected to operate under normal
service for Saturday. Please keep an eye on their website for any service
interruptions: http://bit.ly/CTTransitNHV
Don't forget! During a snow storm, please work to keep your
sidewalks clear to their full width. A lot of your neighbors continue to walk
and use our sidewalks, and it is important for a Great City to have clear
sidewalks during a storm so we all can still get to the store and to bus stops.
