The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for our region beginning at 3 a.m. on Sunday, January 25th with a projected snowfall of about 17 inches and bitterly cold temperatures.
Citywide Parking Ban
To help ensure that snowplows can quickly and efficiently clear city streets, a citywide parking ban will go into effect on Saturday, January 23rd at 10 p.m. until further notice.
On all posted snow emergency routes and in the downtown area, there will be no parking on both sides of the street. There is also no parking within 25 feet of a fire hydrant, intersection or bus stop.
In residential areas, there will be no parking on the odd-numbered side of the streets.
If you forgot to move your car and think it was towed, call the New Haven Police Department's non-emergency line at 203-946-6316.
Parking Options During the Storm
There are many options for residents in need of an off-street parking during the parking ban, click here to view a list of public school and Yale lots that will be available for free as well as parking garages at a flat rate of $3 per day.
