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
