Winter Parking Ban in Effect Starting Tonight (1/19/2020)

Call 802-658-SNOW for Updates

Burlington, VT – A winter PARKING BAN will go into effect tonight at 10pm. With very low temperatures forecast over the next few days, salt will be much less effective. Therefore, while the main roads are in good shape, crews will be devoting extra attention to neighborhood roads and sidewalks. Public Works appreciates your help as crews continue clearing roads and sidewalks through the night.

Be sure to check 802-658-SNOW for updates tomorrow or keep your eye on the lights. Bans are always called by 3PM. Please travel safely and stay warm!

Details on Timing & Enforcement

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 the end of this 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.
