Winter parking ban begins Dec. 8

Wednesday, December 5, 2012 — Issue 181

BRATTLEBORO — The town's winter parking ban will go into effect starting Saturday, Dec. 8.

Overnight parking is forbidden on all streets in town. Vehicles parked for longer than one hour between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. may be ticketed and towed at the owner's expense.

During snowstorms, vehicles must be parked under cover in the Transportation Center. Vehicles parked there must be removed by 8 a.m. to allow for the regular day's parking.

Vehicles may be towed at any time if they are hampering snow plowing or snow removal.

The ban will remain in effect until April 15.

If anyone has any questions regarding the snow ban, or parking during a snowstorm, contact Carol Coulombe, parking enforcement coordinator, at 802-257-2305.
