Another Concord Citywide Parking Ban Issued (April 4-April 5)

CONCORD, NH — The city of Concord has issued a “winter storm even parking ban” alert due to the early April snowstorm, which could deliver anywhere from 4 to 20 inches of snow in the capital city.

No on-street parking will be allowed on any city street between 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, April 4, and 7 a.m. on Friday, April 5. City officials are banning parking in order to remove snow from city streets during the overnight hours. Violators of the parking ban are subject to receiving a ticket and being towed by Concord Police’s Parking Division, according to officials.

Free parking is available at city garages between 7 p.m. and 8 a.m. for lease-permit spots, marked with signage, and 9 a.m. on metered spaces. The city has three garages downtown on School Street (also known as the Durgin Block Garage), State Street (also known as the Firehouse Block Garage), and Storrs Street (formerly known as the Capital Commons garage).

Residents of the village in Penacook must also move their vehicles off the street.

Residents looking for free parking during the storm can park in the Canal Street Municipal Parking Lot at Village and Canal streets. This parking lot has a “no overnight parking” sign posted but this regulation is suspended during city-wide winter parking bans to accommodate Penacook residents. The city asks Penacook residents to only park in the public spaces on the south side of the lot along Canal Street.

Some City Services Closing Early

City Hall, the Concord Public Library, and General Services administrative and billing offices will be closing at 2 p.m. due to the weather.

The City-Wide Community Center will be open until 4:30 p.m., officials said.

City crews are still out plowing roads and clearing trees. A lot of roads are closed due to downed trees and power lines. Sign up for road closure alerts at concordnh.gov/notifyme or on the MyConcordNH mobile app.

Trash Delay Reminder

Trash and recycling pickup was postponed during the snowstorm.

The Thursday, April 4 collection will be postponed until Friday, April 5. The Friday collection route will be delayed to Saturday, April 6, according to the city.
