Seymour Announces Parking Ban To Clean Up Snow

Seymour First Selectman Kurt Miller sent the following Code Red emergency message to residents Thursday about 3:30 p.m.:

This is Seymour First Selectman Kurt Miller with a public service announcement utilizing the Code Red System.

With more snow projected in the coming days we will need to take some steps to allow us to properly prepare.

Effective Friday, Feb. 6 at 8 p.m. there will be a parking ban encompassing Main, First, Columbus, Wakeley, DeForest and Bank Streets in the downtown area.

This ban will stay in effect until Saturday, Feb. 7 at 8 a.m. so that snow can be removed from the downtown area.

During this time we ask that all cars be removed from these streets. Any cars that are not will be towed. Should you have any questions regarding this, please contact the Seymour Police Department at 203 – 881-7600. 

As you know, we have more snow in the forecast. The duration and amount of snow expected are still unknown, but most suggest we could see up to another foot of snow.

The town is taking all necessary steps to prepare for whatever is needed.

We have increased our supply of salt and all of our trucks are ready to go to keep our street clear.

As a reminder, property owners are responsible for the clearing of sidewalks in front of their property within 24 hours of the end of the storm.

I would also like to ask that you pay special attention to any curb cuts and cross walks attached to those sidewalks to make sure that they are cleared for pedestrian traffic. I do understand that this isn’t always the easiest thing to do, but we need to all work together to make our community as safe as we possibly can. 

I will provide more information as needed in the coming days. Have a great rest of the day.
