Buffalo: Brown urges residents to follow winter & alternative parking to aid with street salting, plowing

Another potential snowstorm approaches

Mayor Byron Brown urged City of Buffalo residents to follow winter parking and alternate side parking regulations to aid with snow removal and first responder access as a possible snowstorm moves into the region.

He said, “The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning, starting at 10 p.m. tonight, running through 10 a.m. Friday. Significant snowfall is forecast, so I ask Buffalo residents and workers to follow all the posted parking regulations, which will allow our plowing crews to clear streets more efficiently, and help our first responders do their critical work,”

Under the city’s winter parking regulations, no parking is allowed along bus routes from 1:30-7 a.m. every day through April 1.

The 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. alternate side parking rules are posted on all applicable residential streets and are in effect year round. Violators of the parking regulations are subject to ticketing and towing.
