Good evening, everybody. This is Mayor Toni Harp calling with an important update regarding New Haven’s response to this week’s snowstorm.
First, I want to thank residents for their patience and cooperation these past 36 hours. Widespread compliance with a parking ban and travel restrictions allowed easier access to city streets for faster snow clearance and removal.
A citywide parking ban remains in effect overnight tonight. At 6:00 a.m. Wednesday the downtown parking ban will be lifted, while the ban on emergency snow routes and the odd-numbered side of all other city streets remains in effect. Please call 203-946-8221 or the city’s Snow Line at 203-946-SNOW with any questions.
Those who parked in either the Granite Square parking garage or the Temple Street parking garage must remove their cars by 8:00 Wednesday morning or face regular parking rates at those places. Residents are reminded that neighborhood parking remains permissible on the even-numbered side of city streets.
All city departments, including all branches of the public library, will reopen for business as usual tomorrow. Trash pick-up will resume later this week on a two-day delayed schedule.
This week we worked together to minimize the inconvenience and disruptive potential of this storm even as we kept public safety a priority. Thank you very much for all your cooperation.
Have a good night.
