LEGAL NOTICE
Winter Parking and Sidewalk Notice Village of Cold Spring
Beginning November 15, 2011 and continuing through April 15, 2012, seasonal parking restrictions will take effect pursuant to Sections 126-15 and 126-36 of the Village Code.
These restrictions prohibit all overnight parking between the hours of 12:01 a.m. and
6:00 a.m. The Village Board has agreed to a “call in program”, as an optional method of seasonal parking control. Therefore, each day from 4:00 p.m. on, a telephone message will be available at 265-4883 (the Village Highway Garage) to notify the caller whether the seasonal off-street parking will be enforced for that evening. The general ban on parking will remain in effect. However, the call in method is intended to limit the need for off-street parking to snow emergencies. It is important that a telephone call is made during and after snowstorms because snow emergencies are not limited to the day of the storm and can extend to the following day or days. The decision of the Village Board is intended to assist all village residents who find off street parking a problem, but everyone must understand the consequences
of receiving a parking ticket if the rules set forth are not adhered to.
Should you have any questions about whether to park overnight during the winter season, you are strongly advised to follow the general rule and remove your car from the street. Towing of vehicles may be required during snow emergencies at the owner’s expense. Areas provided for seasonal off street parking are Kemble Avenue south of The Boulevard and the south side of The Boulevard. Signs will mark designated areas.
Pursuant to Village Code Section 108-21, the owner and/or occupant of each and every building and lot in the Village shall keep the full width of the sidewalk free of snow and ice. When ice on said walk cannot be removed, it shall be covered with sand and other materials not detrimental to the concrete such as calcium chloride, in such a manner as will enable persons to walk thereon with safety. Rock salt or salt based materials shall not be used. Clearing of said sidewalk should begin within a reasonable time during and after snow accumulation. Summonses will be issued to violators.
