Derby reminds residents of winter parking rules

Sharing message from Derby Town/City Clerk Marc J. Garofalo:

DERBY - The forecast for this weekend includes possible significant snow accumulation on Saturday. 

In preparation for the storm and to maximize our snow clearing operations, the Mayor’s office is asking that residents maximize their use of off-street parking.

Additionally, we are opening the city garage for use free of charge. We are also encouraging the use of municipal parking lots on Caroline Street.

Remember alternate side of the street parking is in effect to assist in maximizing our snow clearing operations. 

Violators of the alternate side of the street parking not only hinder our snow clearing operations but are subject to ticketing by the police department.

In January parking is allowed only on the odd-numbered side of the street. 

Below is a link to the winter parking regulation.
