City of Waterbury Announces Snow Parking Ban

(WATERBURY, CT) Due to the forecasted winter storm, Mayor Paul Pernerewski has announced the activation of a citywide snow parking ban in Waterbury, effective Sunday, February 22 at 1:00 PM and continuing until further notice.

Forecasts indicate that precipitation will begin Sunday afternoon and is expected to consist primarily of heavy snow. The parking ban is being implemented to allow the Department of Public Works to safely and efficiently clear city streets.

“In preparation for the incoming storm, we are asking all residents to move their vehicles to the even-numbered side of the street or into a city parking garage,” said Mayor Pernerewski. “This will help ensure that our crews can properly plow roadways and maintain safe travel conditions for emergency responders and the public.”

In addition to all posted Snow Zones, there will be NO parking on the odd-numbered side of all city streets for the duration of the ban. Residents are strongly encouraged to utilize private driveways or municipal parking garages instead of parking on the street.

Vehicles parked in violation of the snow parking ban, including those in designated Snow Zones or on the odd-numbered side of streets, may be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense.

City Parking Garages Available

• Scovill Street Garage
  33 Scovill Street
• Buckingham Garage
