Winter parking ban now in effect in Brattleboro

Wednesday, November 23, 2011 — Issue 128

BRATTLEBORO — The town's winter parking ban is now in effect, with overnight parking forbidden on all streets in town until April 15, 2012.

Vehicles parked for longer than one hour between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. may be ticketed and towed at the owner's expense.

During snowstorms, vehicles must be parked under cover in the Transportation Center. Vehicles must be removed by 8 a.m. to allow for the regular day's parking. Vehicles may be towed at any time if they are hampering snow plowing or snow removal.

For information, call Parking Enforcement Coordinator Carol Coulombe at the Parking Department at 802-257-2305.
