JACKSON, Wyo. — Another sign that winter is on the way! Winter parking restrictions go into effect at midnight, Nov. 1.
The Town of Jackson prohibits parking on all streets and alleys between the hours of 3 and 7 a.m. from Nov. 1 until April 15 to allow for snow removal and winter street operations.
Enforcement will take place every morning during these dates, regardless of whether or not it snows.
“If you must leave your car overnight, please plan ahead and find an alternate location,” the Town of Jackson says. “Overnight parking is always allowed in the Public Parking Garage located at the intersection of Milward and Simpson for up to 48 hours.”
According to the Town, the winter parking ban is in place because of the potential for snowfall in the region.
“Snow can only efficiently and cost-effectively be cleared at night from lots and streets that are empty of cars,” says the Town. “After a storm, public works crews spend up to a week hauling snow and laying gravel to keep the streets in good condition. It is neither safe nor efficient for cars to be parked on the street while this work is being completed.”
