_____________

The Stow Parking Ban will be in effect from Sat., January 24 at 4:00 PM through Mon., January 26, 2026 at 4:00 PM.  Please note that this timeframe may be extended depending on snowfall amounts.

The parking ban prohibits motorists from parking cars in the street.  
What is the reason for the parking ban? Whenever the City has a snow event of a depth of two inches or more, the mayor may declare that an emergency exists and that the snowfall constitutes a serious public hazard impairing transportation, fire, health and public protection and other vital facilities of the City. And in order for snowplowing operations to be completed, a parking ban is issued to prohibit motorists from parking cars on City side streets, so that the streets are unobstructed for essential functions, such as snow plowing and emergency services. During the period of the emergency, law dictates that no person shall park or leave unattended any vehicle of any kind upon the streets.
The City of Stow thanks you in advance for your adherence to this law.
