Trash Pickup Delayed

Refuse and recycling will be delayed because of the expected snowfall. Thursday’s collection will take place on Friday, March 6, and Friday’s collection will take place on Saturday, March 7.

Cars off Streets

All four of the City parking garages opened at 4 p.m. Thursday and vehicles must be off the emergency snow routes by 8 p.m. in advance of the storm to avoid being towed and impounded. Residents will not be charged to park there during the storm.

If your street is posted as an emergency snow route, move your car off the route. If no off-street parking available, you must go to one of the City’s garages:

• Noah Hillman Parking Garage – 150 Gorman Street
• Gotts Court Parking Garage – 25 Northwest Street
• Knighton Parking Garage – 1A Colonial Avenue
• Park Place – 5 Park Place

The city is preparing for 6-8 inches of snow, making it a Level 2 Snow Response.

PHASE II / LEVEL II (5” to 8” Snow fall) - Parking is banned on emergency snow routes; residents must move their vehicles off snow emergency routes to avoid towing and impound.
