City of Ansonia issues Code Red Alert, parking ban lifted

This is a Code Red Alert from the City of Ansonia. 

As of noon on Tuesday, the full parking ban has been lifted. 

The City of Ansonia will still be following the normal winter parking rules. The plowing and cleaning of streets is expected to take multiple days to complete and the State is expected to receive more snow tomorrow. 

Roadways have been narrowed due to the large amount of snow on the streets. If you have the ability, you are requested to find alternate parking and not park on the street, especially those that are narrow. 

When parking on city streets, you cannot park your vehicle if it will block other vehicles from driving on the street. Again, remember that streets have been narrowed by the multiple snow storms. 

Please follow the Board of Education for updates on school opening for Wednesday. If you are parked in a Board of Education lot, please remove your vehicle immediately so that the Board of Education can clear the lots in preparation for opening. 

Remember that residents and businesses are responsible for shoveling the sidewalks in front of their homes or businesses. Do not throw snow into the roadway. Thank you for your patience as this cleanup continues.

Thank you, City of Ansonia 

Parking ban in Ansonia extended until noon Tuesday

*Posted by Ansonia Police at 12:18 p.m. today [Monday]. 

The snow storm is still ongoing. The snow is beginning to move out of the state but is expected to be here for the next couple of hours. The city has received over a foot of snow and public works crews are working on getting roadways opened.

Residents are asked to please limit their driving on city roads because it is impeding road crews and emergency personnel from performing their functions.

The full parking ban is still in effect. The full parking ban is being extended until tomorrow at noon. Again, the full parking ban is in effect and is being extended until noon on Tuesday. Any vehicle parked on a city street is subject to ticketing and towing at the owner’s expense.

All residents must remove their vehicles from the street to assist with plowing and emergency services. All city parking lots including municipal lots, parks, Nolan Field and Board of Education lots will remain open for resident parking. Vehicles parked in the school lots should be removed at the end of the parking ban as the roads are cleared.

Please remember to assist your neighbors and make sure that your vehicles are off the road. If you have a fire hydrant in front of your residence or building, please assist the fire department in removing snow from around the fire hydrant.

A determination on the resumption of trash pickup will be made later this afternoon and a notice will be sent this evening.

Ansonia Public Schools will be closed on Tuesday, February 24th.

All city buildings will be closed on Tuesday except for essential personnel.

Please remember that it is essential that all vehicles are removed from city streets during the parking ban.

Please remember to clear your furnace vents and help your neighbors.

Please refrain from throwing snow into the roadways which will cause plowed roads to become clogged and unpassable. Residents face fines for throwing snow into the roadways. This includes residents that hire private contractors to plow driveways.

Further updates will be sent as needed.
