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.

The forecast over the last 24 hours has changed significantly.

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

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.
