Newport issues parking ban for Off-Broadway neighborhood for snow removal

The city has issued a neighborhood parking ban for portions of the Off-Broadway neighborhood Thursday as crews continue snow removal operations following last week’s storm.

Residents of the affected streets must move their vehicles to off-street parking Thursday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. No parking signs have been posted in the area, and vehicles not moved by the posted time will be towed, according to the city.

Streets affected Thursday include Barney Street, Barney Court, Sherman Street, Bull Street, Mann Avenue from Broadway to Kay, Ayrault Street from Broadway to Kay, Everett Street from Broadway to Kay, Calvert Street, Cranston Avenue, Tyler Street, Ashurst Place, Bush Street, Kilburn Court, Central Street, Mount Vernon Street, Marin Street and Whitfield Place.

Following Thursday’s work, a parking ban will be in place Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Carroll Avenue from Morton Avenue to Old Fort/Harrison Avenue to allow for snow removal in the Fifth Ward.

Streets will be closed while work takes place, and vehicles left on affected roads will be towed.

Impacted residents can park for free at any city public parking lot, as well as on-street metered and unmetered spaces, including downtown and Broadway.
