Overnight Parking Ban Issued For Concord (April 3-April 4)

CONCORD, NH — The city of Concord has issued both “winter storm even parking ban” and “trash delay” alerts 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 Wednesday, April 3, and 7 a.m. on Thursday, April 4.

“Please move your car off the street to help the plows clear snow,” the alert stated. “Cars not removed from the street can impede snow removal and block plows, especially on narrow streets. Violators of the parking ban are subject to receiving a ticket and being towed by Concord Police’s Parking Division.”

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 lot is posted for no overnight parking,” the alert stated, “but this regulation will be suspended during city-wide winter parking bans to accommodate Penacook residents. Please only park in the public spaces on the south side of the lot along Canal Street.”

Trash Delay, Too

Trash and recycling pickup is also being delayed 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.
