NEW HAVEN CITYWIDE, EMERGENCY PARKING BAN WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT
OVERNIGHT
New Haven – Mayor Toni N. Harp said this afternoon that provisions of
the citywide, emergency parking ban will remain in effect overnight
tonight. The parking ban includes an outright prohibition on downtown
streets and Emergency Snow Routes, and no parking on the odd-numbered
side of the remainder of city streets.
Mayor Harp reinforced the public safety concerns prompting the parking
ban. “The snow and ice deposited by this winter storm has to be
cleared away before it freezes – the parking ban allows snow removal
equipment better access to city streets to allow private vehicles to
pass but most importantly, to allow fire trucks and ambulances to get
through if and as necessary,” Mayor Harp said.
City officials also announced that the downtown portion of the ban,
inside Howe Street, Martin Luther King Boulevard, State Street and Grove
Street, will be rescinded Tuesday morning at 6:00. New Haven Public
Schools officials will make a decision about Tuesday operations at 5:00
a.m.
Mayor Harp also reminded residents that Governor Malloy signed an order
extending property tax filing deadlines statewide.
