Snow Emergency Declared
The City of Kingston has declared a Snow Emergency beginning at 6:00pm, Tuesday, January 16, 2018.
Parking restrictions will go into effect at 8:00pm. Vehicles may only be parked on the
even side of the street beginning at 8:00pm.
The even side is determined by the house numbers on the street.
Vehicles not in compliance with these parking restrictions may be ticketed and towed.
Please note that the City of Kingston strives to send out alerts regarding snow emergencies and parking restrictions as soon as possible so that individuals and businesses can be best prepared. If in the event the forecast changes and/or it is determined that a snow emergency is no longer necessary, a separate alert with updated information will be sent out.
All vehicles must be parked in allowable locations, including: private driveways or parking lots owned by the vehicle owner or with permission of the owner; municipal lots; or on the appropriate side of the street.
It can be confusing if one side of your street doesn't typically allow parking. However, during snow emergencies, any
pre-existing parking restrictions which designate or prohibit parking on a particular side of the street are temporarily superseded by snow emergency alternate side of the street parking restrictions. Vehicles still may not block driveways or fire hydrants.
While the City offers snow emergency alternate side parking, individuals with access to off-street parking are strongly encouraged to move their vehicles off of the street to allow for the quickest and most effective clearing of snow.
Tomorrow
On Wednesday, January 17th, vehicles must be moved at 7:00am to the
odd side of the street. The odd side is determined by the house numbers on the street.
Reminder: All snow emergencies and related parking restrictions are in effect for at least two days, in order for the Department of Public Works to clear both sides of the street. You must adhere to these parking restrictions and move your vehicle, regardless of whether or not the weather has improved or the street looks clear.
Snow Emergency Routes will be maintained as priorities for plowing throughout the storm.
A separate alert will be sent out to inform you of when the snow emergency has been lifted or when changes must be made to the current snow emergency instructions.
It is anticipated that trash will be collected as scheduled.
