Storm Prompts Hamilton Parking Ban

No parking will be allowed on Hamilton streets for the first half of Tuesday because of a forecasted snowstorm.

A winter storm parking ban has enacted in Hamilton for midnight through noon on Tuesday. The announcement was made through a Connect-CTY phone and e-mail message from Town Manager Michael Lombardo at 5:20 p.m. on Monday.

The ban means that on-street parking is banned all over town, except by Fire Department, Police Department, Department of Public Works and "other public safety and public utility repair vehicles."

Additionally, "vehicles shall not be parked in such a way as to interfere or impede such efforts," according to Lombardo's message.

Violators face a $20 fine and could have their vehicle towed at their expense.

"Please assist in the snow removal effort by keeping sidewalks and fire hydrants clear of snow," Lombardo said.
