Write a commentOswego Mayor Billy Barlow has finally put the annual overnight, on-street winter parking ban in effect, banning parking on city streets from 12AM-6AM in residential neighborhoods and 2AM-6AM in the east and west downtown areas.
Free overnight, public parking lots are cleared of snow and available at:
- Wright’s Landing Marina Parking Lot
- Breitbeck Bell Tower Parking Log
- Cayuga and West First Street Parking Lot (along sidewalk only)
- Burkle Street Parking Lot
- Fort Pool Parking Lot
- Route 48 Parking Lot (South of Post Office)
- West Schuyler Street Parking area (along fence line)
The overnight winter parking ban in Oswego runs from December 1st to March 31st but can be placed on and off at the Mayor’s discretion. Mayor Barlow typically delays implementing the parking ban until a considerable amount of snow has accumulated throughout the city and more snow is regularly in the forecast. “I’m pleased to make it until the month of February before having to place the winter parking ban in effect but with snow accumulating on the ground and snow consistently in our forecast, putting the winter parking ban in effect is the safest and responsible thing to do at this time,” said Mayor Billy Barlow. “As always, I’ll lift the winter parking ban once conditions are suitable. In the mean-time, I thank Oswego residents for their cooperation and kindly ask to give our plow drivers ample space to safely clear the roads, avoid double parking at all times and be sure to shovel your sidewalks and clear your fire neighborhood fire hydrants,” Barlow said.
