Watertown overnight winter parking ban is now in effect
Watertown prohibits overnight parking on city streets from 2 to 6 a.m. during the seasonal winter ban.
By Caleb Mercer, ClickNNY North Country Desk
Watertown’s seasonal overnight parking ban is in effect, limiting parking on city streets from 2 to 6 a.m. between Nov. 1 and April 30, the city’s Police Department and Department of Public Works said in a notice.
The restriction also covers the area between sidewalks and curbs. That space must remain clear to allow snowplows to remove snow from city streets. Violations may result in fines, and vehicle owners may also face towing charges.
The city’s snow-removal rules include an exception for physicians responding to emergency calls. Residents are also responsible for clearing privately owned sidewalks and driveways, and are asked to keep sidewalks and fire hydrants clear.
More information is available through the City of Watertown’s public parking page, snow-removal page and Police Department FAQ. The Department of Public Works lists 315-785-7842 for after-hours emergencies.
