Safety concerns prompt additional streets to be included in winter-long parking ban

posted on: 1/10/2020

Due to safety concerns, Police Chief M. William Breault has declared an emergency parking ban on the following streets, in accordance with Chapter 166 of the City of Dover's ordinances:

-- Saint Thomas Street, no parking on the northerly side (odd numbered), between the Locust Street Belknap Street
-- Fifth Street, no parking on the northerly side (odd numbered), between Grove Street and Tammany Park
-- Baker Street, no parking on the northerly side (odd numbered)
-- Everett Street, no parking on the westerly side (odd numbered)

Signs declaring the additional parking restrictions will be posted on the affected streets. These streets will follow the same winter-long parking ban restrictions, from December 1 to April 1, or until the emergency parking ban is lifted.

Several city streets are already subject to a parking ban on one side of the street from December 1 to April 1.

The parking restrictions during the winter months on these additional streets are the result of concerns about the ability of emergency vehicles to access the streets. In addition, these restrictions help keep the roads accessible during snow removal operations.

During a declared citywide parking ban, both sides of these streets are restricted.

Other streets included in the December 1 to April 1 ban are:

• Third Street, no parking on the northerly side (odd numbered), from Chestnut Street to Grove Street
• Fourth Street, no parking on the northerly side (odd numbered), from Chestnut Street to Grove Street
• Fifth Street, no parking on the northerly side (odd numbered), from Chestnut Street to Grove Street
