City of Ellsworth Declares Overnight Parking Ban Friday-Sunday

The City of Ellsworth has declared an overnight Parking Ban Friday February 28- March 2nd . When you go to bed Thursday through Saturday nights, be sure that your vehicles are off the streets as they risk being towed from Midnight to 6 a.m.

The City of Ellsworth reminds us that during recent snow events, city plow trucks have faced difficulties navigating streets due to vehicles being left parked, making snow removal more challenging. As snowbanks grow with each storm, it becomes even more critical for plow trucks to have clear access. Therefore, it is essential for all residents and visitors to remember that during a winter parking ban for snow removal, parking is prohibited on ALL public streets, ways, and city-owned parking areas, including downtown and beyond.

Important reminder for those clearing snow, Public Works reminds residents not to plow, blow, or shovel snow from their property onto the street. Depositing snow on public roads is prohibited by state law and poses a safety hazard by increasing risks for drivers and potentially obstructing traffic.
