Mayor Justin Elicker with an important message for New Haven residents about the snowstorm headed our way. Por favor espere para escuchar este mensaje en español.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for our region beginning tonight and through most of the day Tuesday with a projected snowfall of 6 to 10 inches.
In order to help ensure that our snowplows can quickly and efficiently clear city streets, a citywide parking ban will be in effect beginning tonight at 12 midnight. In residential areas, there is no parking on the odd-numbered side of the streets. On all posted snow emergency routes and in the downtown area, there is no parking on both sides of the street. There is also no parking within 25 feet of a fire hydrant, intersection or bus stop.
For residents in need of an off-street parking option, there are multiple free and low-cost options available, including selected school parking lots, Yale University parking lots and downtown parking garages. The full list is available on the city’s website at newhavnenct.gov/snow.
For individuals who might need a warm and safe place to stay, our walk-in winter Warming Centers will be open with extended hours, beginning Monday 7 pm and operate continuously through Wednesday
7 am. The list of warming centers can also be found on the city's website or by calling 2-1-1.
Finally, please stay off the roads if you can, please shovel your sidewalks so there is a path at least 3 feet wide to ensure wheelchair and stroller access, and please check on your family, friends and neighborhoods who might need a helping hand. Finally, as always, please call 9-1-1- for any life-threatening emergencies.
Thanks for your cooperation everyone, stay safe and enjoy the snow!
