- NO VEHICLE shall be parked or positioned in such a manner as to interfere with the snow removal or sanding operation.
- ANY VEHICLE IN VIOLATION OF THIS SECTION SHALL BE TICKETED AND WILL BE TOWED AT THE EXPENSE OF THE OWNER.
- Residents should take it upon themselves not to park on public ways if there is snow in the forecast.
Keep them clear
Clearing snow from hydrants and storm drains (catch basins) is important because it ensures that emergency responders have quick access to hydrants in case of a fire. It also helps prevent flooding by allowing water to flow freely through the drainage system. Residents can assist town crews by making sure hydrants and catch basins around their homes are clear of snow and ice. View our Catch Basin and Hydrant Locator Map to help identify them in your neighborhood.
