Ansonia Police Department posts storm alert, parking ban

STORM ALERT/ FULL PARKING BAN

The forecast over the last 24 hours has changed significantly.

We are going to be experiencing a significant winter storm beginning Sunday afternoon and into Monday. Accumulation estimates vary but our area is expected to get over a foot of snow.

The storm track is also forecasting high winds during the storm, resulting in blizzard conditions. This may result in power outages.

These accumulation totals will make it difficult for emergency vehicles and plows to work on City Streets. In anticipation of this winter storm, there will be a FULL parking ban on all city streets starting at 12 noon on Sunday until Monday night, February 23rd at 11:00 pm. These times may be extended based on the track of the storm and the amount of snow received.

All residents must remove their vehicles from the street to assist with plowing and emergency services by noon tomorrow. Vehicles in violation will be ticketed and towed at owner’s expense, beginning after 12 noon tomorrow.

During the storm, all city parking lots including municipal lots, Nolan Field and Board of Education lots will be 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.

Trash pickup for Monday will be postponed until Tuesday and will be postponed one day for the rest of the week.

Ansonia Public Schools will be closed on Monday.

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

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