Town-wide Parking Ban Declared
Effective 8PM
Tonight, Wednesday, January 26, 2011

Based on National Weather Forecasts, the Town of Winthrop has declared a Town-wide Parking Ban effective 8PM tonight, Wednesday, January 26, 2011.

All residents must get their vehicles off the streets.

The parking ban will remain in effect until further notice.

In addition, the DPW requests that residents refrain from placing snow back into our streets, which makes their efforts to clean and make our streets safe difficult.

WINTER PARKING REGULATIONS
Winter Parking Regulations are in effect each year
from December 15 to April 1

Effective each year from December 15th to April 1st, winter parking regulations are in effect. These regulations state that upon announcement of the U.S. Weather Bureau or forecast in the newspaper, on radio or television of an EXPECTED OR IMPENDING snow storm, all motor vehicles must be removed from Town streets. Motor vehicles not removed will be subject to fines and/or towing. The vehicle owner is responsible for fines and tow charges including tickets lost or damaged by the weather condition.

    If you were parked on a street otherwise determined as a street you may park on during a parking ban, they yes, you are subject to be ticketed and towed. Please read the town ordinances on winter regulations (above posting): For Town Ordinance regarding Chapter 282, WINTER PARKING
