Camden issues 24-hour parking ban with Sunday winter storm on the approach
There will be a winter parking ban for all streets and parking lots in Camden, except for the Public Safety lot on Washington Street, from 6 a.m., Sunday, Jan. 7, to 6 a.m., Monday, Jan. 8.
“We understand a daytime ban could be less than ideal, but it is necessary for crews to stay ahead of the conditions this anticipated storm will bring,” the town said, in a Jan. 4 notice. “Those who need street parking for short durations like store or pharmacy visits will not be subject to ticketing. We just ask that these are short duration parking situations.”
The removal of accumulated snow and ice is necessary to free up downtown parking and clear important drainage that prevents flooding and icing.
“Our Public Works crew appreciates your assistance in this matter, so they can safely and efficiently get our streets, parking spaces and drains cleared,” the notice said. “If the storm is shorter in duration, we will lift the parking ban early. Thank you for your cooperation.”
