Winter Parking Ban in Effect Tonight (2/12/19)

Call 802-658-SNOW for Updates

 

Burlington, VT – A winter PARKING BAN will go into effect tonight at 10pm to help city crews clear the roads of snow and ice. The ban will be in effect from 10PM tonight - 7AM tomorrow throughout Burlington, except downtown. In the downtown zone the ban is in effect midnight tonight-6AM tomorrow (see end of press release for streets within the downtown zone enforcement area). Any vehicles remaining on the street during the parking ban may be issued a $125.00 parking ticket by Burlington Police Parking Enforcement and towed to another location. Parking bans are always declared by 3pm. Call 802-658-SNOW for future updates or look for the parking ban lights around the city. Please travel safely and stay warm!

Free parking is available in city-owned garages:

  • Starting at 10PM

  • Cars must be removed by 8AM when the ban is over to avoid paying the full daily rate

  • The following city-owned garages offer this free parking:

    • Marketplace Garage (47 S. Winooski: entrances on Cherry St & Bank St),

    • College St Garage (60 College St: entrances on College St and Battery St) and

    • Lakeview Garage (41 Cherry St: entrance on Cherry St)

  • Public Works asks that you not park on the top floor of any garage OR in any municipal lot (this allows plow access for snow clearing).
