What Cheshire residents need to know when a snow emergency is declared
Cheshire enforces a police-ordered parking ban during most winter storms. When the ban is in effect, no vehicles may be parked on the street. Residents should move all vehicles to driveways or off-street areas to avoid being ticketed or towed.
The Cheshire Police Department orders a parking ban, which occurs during most winter storms. This is a police-ordered ban rather than a formal Mayor-declared snow emergency.
No vehicles may be parked on the street during a police-ordered parking ban. The ban appears to prohibit all on-street parking — no odd/even side-of-street provisions were found in official sources. Verify specific rules with Cheshire Police at (203) 271-5500 or Public Works at (203) 271-6650.
