Ellicott Town Office To Close

FALCONER — The Ellicott Town Administration Office will be again closed today due to the weather.

Winter Plowing Rules Announced

Jeffrey Lehman, Jamestown director of public works, asked for assistance from city residents regarding winter plowing. “City plow operators often face various obstacles while working to keep the city streets clear,” he said. “A frequent occurrence that hampers their efforts occurs when city residents are not following the alternate parking rules. When residents do not move their vehicles timely during alternate parking months, plow drivers are often unable to maneuver between cars that are parked on both sides of the street. This affects the city’s efforts to access many streets for snow removal and ice control.” Lehman said vehicles are supposed to be moved at 10 a.m. He said there is also no parking downtown between the hours of 2-7 a.m. According to the City Code, vehicles that are in violation may be ordered removed by the chief of police or other authorized personnel under his command.
