Gardner Plans Parking Ban on Certain Streets to Clear Snow Bankings
From the City of Gardner: “There will be a Downtown Parking Ban on Monday, February 24th from 7:00am to 3:30pm to allow DPW Crews to clear the snow bankings from the edges of the sidewalk. The City Code requires property owners in the Downtown to maintain the sidewalks in front of their buildings. This work is being done to assist in the snow removal between the street and the clearing done by the property owners. During this time, certain sections of streets in the area may be closed to allow crews to adequately work clear the sidewalks. These closures will be done on a rolling basis based on where the crews are at that time. Thank you for your attention to this matter and patience while crews work to clear the snow.”
Mayor Michael Nicholson provided additional information “There will be an on-street parking ban on Main Street (Willow to West Lynde), Central Street (Parker to Park), Parker Street (Central to Nichols), Pleasant Street (Main to Willow), Connors Street (Knowlton to Parker), and City Hall Avenue (Main to Nichols) on Monday, February 24th, from 7:00am to 3:30pm. This parking ban is being put in place to allow DPW crews to clear the snow bankings from the edges of the sidewalks. During this time period, sections of certain streets may be closed while crews work in the areas to remove the snow. These closures will be temporarily done on a rolling basis, as crews move through the downtown area.”
