Middletown Police: Hundreds Of Spaces Available During Parking Ban

MIDDLETOWN, CT — With a parking ban imposed on public streets in Middletown Sunday, the Middletown Police Department, in coordination with the Middletown Department of Public Works, began ticketing and towing vehicles even before the snow hit.

Blizzard conditions and "the need to keep roadways clear for emergency vehicles and snow removal operations," were making things complicated as the storm moved in and intensified overnight," police said.

Police outlined the rules on social media.

The fines are $250.

"Your cooperation helps ensure our streets remain safe and accessible for plows, first responders, and essential services," police said.

Police said there are hundreds of spaces available off the streets:

• 250 spaces at Melilli Plaza
• 100 spaces at the Broad Street/Kidcity lot
• 30 Spaces at the Russell Library off Broad Street
• 20 spaces at the Kings Avenue Lot
• 90 spaces at the Dungwall Drive lot
