Emergency Parking Ban Declared in Burlington During Storm

Do not park on the street tomorrow or Saturday.

Superintendent of Public Works John Sanchez informed Patch today that the town has declared an Emergency Parking Ban in anticipation of the big snow storm expected tomorrow.

The parking ban begins at noon tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 8 and will continue through 6 p.m. on Saturday. The ban limits any vehicle from parking on the side of any Burlington roads. Violators could be towed. 

"This gives us room to plow," Sanchez explained. "We don't need cars in the street."

Sanchez also advised residents to stay home during the snow and subsequent clean-up to give the DPW room to clear the streets. 

"Unless you really need to get out, stay home," he said. "we'll be running big equipment and moving a lot of snow and having less vehicles on the streets makes it easier to do our job."

Sanchez said that as the snow intensifies there will be roughly 100 pieces of equipment out working on the street clean up, both town and private vehicles.
