Due to the heavy snowfall that is predicted for our community beginning tonight, the Town’s ordinance prohibiting parking on the even side of the roadway, during and immediately after a snowfall, is in effect.

Residents are asked to avoid parking in the roadway as it will greatly enhance the Department of Public Works ability to clear roadways efficiently. However, if you must park on the road, please comply with the ordinance.
