No Parking On Some Downtown Concord Streets As Snow Removal Continues

CONCORD, NH — Parking will be banned on several streets as the city of Concord continues its snow removal efforts downtown on Thursday night and Friday morning.

City officials said in an alert that parking will be banned on the following streets between 11:59 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 20, and 7 a.m. Friday: Storrs Street, Hills Avenue, Depot Street, Theatre Street, Fayette Street, Concord Street, and Thompson Street. The streets are marked with emergency no-parking signs.

“Crews worked hard overnight removing snow from downtown,” an alert stated. “About 4,000 tons (189 loads) of snow were removed last night. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to complete all areas. There is a lot of heavy snow out there.”

Free parking is available at three city garages from 7 p.m. on Thursday to 8 a.m. on permit-lease spaces and metered spaces until 9 a.m. on Friday. Garages are located on School Street (the Durgin Block Garage), North State Street (the Firehouse Block Garage), and Storrs Street (formerly known as the Capital Commons Garage).

“We appreciate the community's cooperation and understanding as crews continue to put in long hours to clear snow and clean up Concord,” officials said. “Crews continue to clear snow all across the city. Your patience is appreciated.”

Concord police will begin ticketing and towing vehicles just after midnight. Residents not removing their vehicles will also be responsible for the tow fee.
