​
WINTER PARKING BAN IN EFFECT FOR SATURDAY - SUNDAY OVERNIGHT
​
The Village of Nelsonville Winter Parking Ordinance will be in effect from Saturday night through Sunday morning, 12am to 6am. Parking is prohibited on Village streets (including Main Street/301).
We kindly ask that cars be removed from Village streets between the hours of 12am to 6am. This allows our crew to plow the streets efficiently, completely and safely.
Designated winter parking spots are available on Adams Avenue. Please stay within the designated parking spots on Adams Avenue. Winter parking is also available in the N. Pearl Street lot. For those of you parking in the N. Pearl Street lot, we ask that you park on the river side of the lot (west). Lastly, we ask that you remove cars in a timely manner Sunday morning.
We would also like to remind residents to please clear all sidewalks that border your property. This is the responsibility of property owners and building occupants. Please do not shovel your sidewalks and driveways into the streets, as this creates dangerous obstacles and doubles work for our highway crew. Please pile snow on your own property as much as possible. Snow and ice must be removed within 18 hours after the end of a snowfall.
Thank you, and stay safe .
