Parking Ban Announced In Wallingford

WALLINGFORD, CT — Police are advising residents of a temporary parking ban that will be in effect for a school dance in Wallingford.

The Wallingford Boys & Girls Club, 72 Grand Street, will be hosting a dance for the eighth-grade students of Dag Hammarskjold Middle School from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday, May 30.

“During this time, a significant increase in both pedestrian and vehicular traffic is expected in the area as families arrive to drop off and pick up students,” police wrote in a post on Facebook. “Due to the already limited width of Prospect Street, no parking will be permitted on Prospect Street during the event to help facilitate a safer and more efficient traffic flow.

“We recognize this may cause a temporary inconvenience, but this precaution is necessary to ensure the safety of our community’s children, families, and residents.”

For more information, or concerns, contact Sgt. Darrin Rembisz, Traffic Division Commander, at 203-294-2621.

“We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your anticipated cooperation,” police wrote.
