The Department of Public Works is reminding residents about parking restrictions and snow removal bylaws as winter approaches.

In a recent press release, highway manager Mike Mansir laid out the bylaws governing both winter parking bans and pushing snow into the street or sidewalk.

The town’s traffic rules prohibit non-emergency vehicles to park on any street from 1-6 a.m., starting Nov. 15. The ban will be lifted April 1.

Town bylaws give the highway manager the authority to remove vehicles that violate these rules if they prevent DPW crews from plowing snow or removing ice. Vehicles will be towed at the owner’s expense.

The bylaws also prohibit the placement of snow onto any public roadway or sidewalk. Residents found in violation will receive a $25 fine per offense.
