City Procedures for Winter Storms and Alternate Side of the Street Parking
(This information is
not found on the city’s web site.)
When the city declares a snow emergency, alternate side of the
street parking goes into effect throughout the city. Parking is
not permitted on any designated snow emergency street.
All home and business owners are required to adhere to these
regulations so a timely and efficient snow removal process can
take place.
A Snow Emergency means residents and businesses are NOT
PERMITTED to park on any of the designated Snow Emergency
Streets. These streets are clearly designated with signs. See
full list of those streets below.
Alternate Side of the street parking is in effect. Residents
will be instructed as to whether they should park on the odd or
even side of the streets.
The Bridgeport Police Department will enforce these bans, with a
ticket, a tow or both. Vehicles parked in violation will be
towed. For safety purposes residents and businesses must comply
with these regulations so that City plows may effectively and
efficiently clear all roads with limited obstacles. Landlords
and business owners are asked to allow renters and employees to
park vehicles in driveways and parking lots.
Commuters are asked to drive safely & securely, and allow plows
the right of way.
Residents are also asked to keep children away from street curbs
and places where plows may be driving in order to keep children
safe. Children should not be playing in snowdrifts or in piles
of snow that plows may have left or may be adding to.
Plows will be concentrating on emergency access and primary
roads first then moving onto the secondary roads until all roads
are safely cleared.
Important emergency numbers include: For All Immediate Life Threatening Emergencies call 911 For Snow Removal Issues call 576-7124, 576-7751, or dial 211
