TROY, NY – As part of an effort to improve municipal street cleaning and snow plowing operations, City officials today announced changes to alternate side parking restrictions for specific streets in Troy’s Little Italy and South Central neighborhoods. Weekly parking restrictions currently posted for Friday on the following streets will change to Wednesday, effective immediately:

5th Avenue – between Congress Street and Hill Street, and Adams Street to Ida Street

Hill Street – between Division Street and Spring Avenue

6th Avenue – between Jefferson Street and Ida Street

Residents and property owners are asked to observe all updated parking restrictions on affected streets. Vehicles illegally parked will be ticketed and towed, both at the owner’s expense. Posted hours of parking restrictions will remain the same. Updated signage will be installed to reflect the updated parking rules. A map of streets with updated parking restrictions can be seen via GoogleMaps.

Additionally, city officials announced that Troy City Hall will be closed on Monday, February 19, 2018, in observation of President’s Day and will reopen on Tuesday, February 20, at 8:30 a.m. Municipal garbage and recycling collection will occur as normal. Bulk trash pickup will be suspended for Monday, February 19. For more information on municipal garbage collection, please contact the Department of Public Works dispatcher at (518) 270-4579 or by visiting the City of Troy website.

Residents are reminded to keep sidewalks adjacent to their property free of obstacles when placing garbage and recycling bins out for collection to assist those with mobility issues, including the elderly and individuals with disabilities. Property owners are required to clear sidewalks adjacent to their property by 10:00 a.m. the day following the end of a snow storm. Clearing your sidewalk will keep our community accessible for residents of all ages & abilities and assist first responders during medical emergencies in your neighborhood.
