Derby man and child digging out from heavy snow in 2013.
The forecast for this weekend includes possible significant snow accumulation on Saturday. In preparation for the storm and to maximize our snow clearing operations, the Mayor’s office is asking that residents maximize their use of off-street parking.
Additionally, we are opening the city garage for use free of charge. We are also encouraging the use of municipal parking lots on Caroline Street.
Remember alternate side of the street parking is in effect to assist in maximizing our snow clearing operations. Violators of the alternate side of the street parking not only hinder our snow clearing operations but are subject to ticketing by the police department.
In January parking is allowed only on the odd-numbered side of the street only. Below is a link to the winter parking regulation.

From Derby Police:
With the potential for heavy snow (or some snow) beginning Saturday morning, just a reminder that the winter parking ban is in effect.
With this being an ODD number month, street parking is only allowed on the ODD number side of the street.
Police officers will be assisting public works by strictly enforcing this.
Illegally parked vehicles that pose a hazard or interfere with the plows may be towed at the owners expense.
If you must go out in the snow, please drive safely, clear your roof and windows of snow and ice (it is illegal to operate an igloo), and leave plenty of room between you and other vehicles to allow proper time to stop.
