Impending Storm Closure Updates:

City-wide ParkingBanin Effect, Closure of Convenience Center

(Taunton, MA - January 28, 2022) Due to the impending snow storm, a City-wide parkingbanwill be in effect from 12:00AM on Saturday, January 29, 2022 until 6:00PM on Sunday, January 30, 2022.

Based on storm predictions and to keep roadways clear for emergency vehicles and snow plowing operations, all City residents should make every effort to park their vehicles in areas off City streets. Not adhering to this bancould result in vehicles being towed at the owner's expense.

Municipal (24-hour free parking) lots are available behind City Hall on Summer Street, Cedar Street, Trescott Street, Weir Street (rear of TMLP offices), West Water Street (behind Weir House of Pizza), and Whittenton Street (at Goldstein's 5 & 10). Parking is also available at the Court Street and Pleasant Street lots during the course of the parking ban, but vehicles must be removed from these two lots by 6pm on Sunday night when the parking ban is lifted.

The City's Convenience Center will be closed on Saturday January 29, 2022. Currently, we do not anticipate any trash or recycling delays for next week as a result of the snow storm.

Parking banand emergency services may be cancelled, extended, or reduced at any time due to changing conditions.

City residents are urged to remain off the roads as much as possible and to avoid calling the Police and Fire Departments for non-emergencies.
