In what is becoming an almost weekly ritual, people in Hartford had to move their cars off city streets Sunday.
With more snow on the way, the city issued another parking ban. It will last from 12:01am Monday until 6:00am Tuesday.
Cars left parked on the street can be towed and owners face a fee and fine of nearly $200.
“We really need compliance. We really need people to get their cars off the streets so our plows can do what they got to do throughout the duration of this storm,” says Deputy Chief Brian Foley, Hartford Police.
Police are hoping to avoid a repeat of the past couple storms.
Between the Blizzard of 2015 and the storm after the Super Bowl, a total of more than 700 cars were towed in Hartford for not following the bans.
Police say it’s even more important now to follow the rules.

“Our roads are tough. We have a lot of snow out there. A lot of snow piled up on the side of the road. The snow banks are starting to be ominous out there and it’s starting to affect how our plows can get down the street,” says Foley.
People who do not have an off-street place to park are encouraged to head to the following locations:
- Morgan Street Garage
- 2 Holcomb Street Lot
- Keney Park Entrance Lot—Ridgefield Street
- KDA Center Lot—Naugatuck Street
- Pope Park Center Lot—Park Terrace
- Metzner Center Lot—Franklin Avenue
