City Hall with a snowstorm update and an important announcement about a city-wide parking ban. Por favor espere para escuchar este mensaje en español.
The City of New Haven is expected to be impacted by a major winter storm beginning late this evening and lasting through tomorrow. Current forecasts are for 12-16 inches of snow and wind gusts in excess of 50 MPH. Please do not leave your home during the storm unless absolutely necessary – these conditions are dangerous.
Public Works crews will have 50 vehicles out clearing snow 24 hours a day. I know it can be frustrating if your road hasn’t been plowed. Please be patient – our team will be working as hard as we can to clear snow as quickly as possible.
Additionally, there will be a city-wide parking ban beginning at 10 PM tonight. That means downtown and along posted snow emergency routes there is no parking on either side of the street. Additionally, there is no parking allowed on the odd-numbered side of all other streets in the city. Don’t be the odd one out. Again, there is no parking on the odd side of the street.
Transportation Traffic, and Parking will be ticketing and towing beginning at 10 PM tonight.
If you need somewhere to park there are options. (1) Many New Haven Public School lots will be available. If you park in Public School lots, please only park where snow-parking signs indicate. (2) The New Haven Parking Authority lots and garages will be open for $3 per day. (3) Yale is opening a number of lots throughout the city. You can find a list of lots on the city’s website: https://tinyurl.com/2p9bccwm.
Please take some commonsense steps to be sure that you’re ready for the storm. Charge your cell phone and have fresh flashlight batteries. Power outages are a real possibility.
Finally, please clear your sidewalk when the storm passes – this is required by law. The City will be doing enforcement.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. Please be safe.
Hola a todos, soy el alcalde Justin Elicker con una actualización sobre tormentas de nieve y un anuncio importante sobre la prohibición de estacionamiento en toda la ciudad.
Se espera que la ciudad de New Haven sea afectada por una gran tormenta de invierno que comenzará esta noche y durará hasta mañana. Los pronósticos actuales son de 12 a 16 pulgadas de nieve y ráfagas de viento de más de 50 MPH. No salga de su casa durante la tormenta a menos que sea absolutamente necesario; estas condiciones son peligrosas.
El personal de Obras Públicas tendrá 50 vehículos limpiando la nieve las 24 horas del día. Sé que puede ser frustrante si su camino no ha sido limpiado. Tenga paciencia: nuestro equipo trabajará tan duro como sea posible para limpiar la nieve lo más rápido posible.
Además, habrá una prohibición de estacionamiento en toda la ciudad a partir de las 10 de la tarde hoy. Eso significa que en el centro de la ciudad y a lo largo de las rutas de emergencia de nieve no se puede estacionar en ambos lados de la calle. Además, no se permite estacionar en el lado impar de todas las demás calles de la ciudad.
El departamento de Transporte, Tráfico y Estacionamiento pondrán multas y remolcarán a carros a partir de las 10 de esta noche.
Si necesita un lugar para estacionar, hay opciones. (1) Muchos estacionamientos de las Escuelas Públicas de New Haven estarán disponibles. Si estaciona en lotes de escuelas públicas, solo estacione donde indiquen las señales de estacionamiento en tormentas de nieve. (2) Los lotes y garajes de la Autoridad de Estacionamiento de New Haven estarán abiertos por $3 por día. (3) Yale está abriendo varios lotes en toda la ciudad. Puede encontrar una lista de lotes en el sitio web de la ciudad: https://tinyurl.com/2p9bccwm
Tome algunas medidas de sentido común para asegurarse de que está preparado para la tormenta. Por ejemplo, cargue su teléfono celular y tenga baterías de linterna nuevas. Visto que los cortes de luz son una posibilidad real.
Finalmente, quite la nieve de su acera cuando pase la tormenta; esto es requerido por ley. La Ciudad hará cumplir la ley.
Gracias por su paciencia y cooperación. Por favor, tenga cuidado

Vanessa Avery currently serves as the Associate Attorney General for Enforcement, Litigation and Investigations in the Connecticut Office of the Attorney General.

“Vanessa Avery is exceptionally qualified, incredibly hardworking, and an excellent choice to serve as United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut. She is universally respected by every colleague she has worked with and has deep connections across the Connecticut legal community. In our work together, Vanessa always leads with integrity and a strong commitment to justice, and she insists on accountability and respect for the rule of law.
