West New York, NJ Parking Rules: Snow Removal Parking Rules (2026)

Article VIII of Chapter 277, adopted 11-30-2017 as Ord. No. 27/17, covers snow and other emergency parking in the Town of West New York. Section 277-38 A applies whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation covering any designated street or highway exceeds two inches in depth. From that point no vehicle can be parked on either side of three named streets: Bergenline Avenue for its entire length, in the northbound and southbound street parking areas; Park Avenue for its entire length, northbound and southbound; and 60th Street for its entire length, eastbound and westbound. The text ties the ban to accumulation, with no separate declaration step.

Subsection B keeps the prohibitions in effect after the snow has ceased until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to the extent that parking will not interfere with the flow of traffic. The ban therefore ends when plowing is done, not when the snow stops.

Section 277-39 adds a second tool for other emergencies. Upon the declaration of an emergency, there is no parking on streets or parts of streets where temporary emergency no-parking signs are displayed. The Chief of Police or, in his absence, the ranking police officer can declare the emergency and direct the posting of the signs when weather conditions, fires or public celebrations dictate or require the avoidance of hazards or other conditions that interfere with the free flow of traffic. Notification that the signs are being or will be posted must be given to the operator or owner of any vehicle that was parked before the signs went up.

Permit holders get no break. Under § 277-30 A a vehicle with a valid Residential Permit Parking permit is not exempt from Title 39 restrictions or from Town ordinance provisions for street sweeping and public safety. The Article VIII text contains no alternate-side schedule; the only reference to street sweeping in the parking chapter is the permit article's cross-reference.
