Greenwich Board of Selectmen Enact Snow Emergency

With the National Weather Service predicting several inches of snow to fall overnight Wednesday (Jan. 3) through Thursday (Jan. 4), a snow emergency has been declared by the Greenwich Board of Selectmen.

Acting as the Town’s Traffic Authority, the Board has enacted the snow emergency that will prohibit on-street parking on designated snow emergency routes beginning at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 3. The parking ban will enable Department of Public Works crews and its contractors to effectively clear Town roadways.

Residents are advised to park their vehicles in their driveways or in their yards. And residents also may use municipal parking lots to park their vehicles, according to the Department of Public Works.

The snow emergency will remain in effect until the Board of Selectmen removes the snow emergency.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning with snow expected to begin falling during the early morning hours of Thursday, continuing through Thursday morning and afternoon. Near blizzard-like conditions also can be expected with winds of at least 35 mph.

“We have the snow crews with the equipment in place with salt and sand at the ready. We are good to go and to tackle the season’s first major storm,” said Greenwich First Selectman Peter J. Tesei.

The Town ordinance requires Greenwich property owners be responsible for keeping all sidewalks along their property clear of snow and ice.

The Town of Greenwich prohibits plow contractors from pushing snow from driveways or parking lots onto Town streets. This practice is dangerous and impedes the Town’s snow removal efforts. If there is no other alternative to pushing snow into the street, the private plow driver must plow off the windrow left across the street by re-plowing until the road is safe.

A complete list of snow emergency routes can be found below.
