🚨 Avon Winter Parking Ban Reminder 🚨
(Yes… please read the whole thing 😅)

With the impending winter storm, we want to remind Avon residents that a Winter Parking Ban is in effect November 15 through April 15 ❄️

🚫 No parking on Town roads
🚫 No parking in Town parking lots
🚫 No blocking sidewalks (pedestrians and plows thank you!)

We know this can be inconvenient for some residents. And trust us, we’d rather be drinking hot coffee than writing tickets ☕🍩😉 but our DPW needs clear, unobstructed access to properly salt, and maintain our roads.

🚨 IMPORTANT – UPCOMING STORM NOTICE 🚨
Beginning NOW, any vehicle parked on a roadway that interferes with snow removal WILL be ticketed and towed.
❌ No exceptions (even if you “just ran inside for a minute”).

📜 Town Bylaw

Ҥ 226-1 Authority to declare; effect; liability for removal costs.
A winter parking ban on Town ways and property to be in effect from November 15 to April 15 of the succeeding year. Such order shall grant authority to the Superintendent of Streets and the Chief of Police or their designated agents to cause to be removed any vehicle which interferes with snow removal or safe vehicular traffic upon public ways or property. All costs of removal and storage of such vehicle(s) shall be borne by the vehicle owner of record.”

🙏 Thank you for your cooperation. Now help us help you (and help the plows do their thing 🚜).
