Portsmouth Snow Parking Ban Updated

Portsmouth city staffers want to change the way residents and business owners get alerted when a city parking ban is going to go into effect during a snowstorm.

The banner alert system posted updates across the top of the city’s website and on Channel 22 to warn residents before a parking ban was implemented.

The city has now created a new snow-related page and is urging people to sign up for its ‘Smart 911’ system to get automatic email, text or phone updates for storms and other events.
