GREENFIELD — Parking permits for municipal lots are now available for 2024.
The annual permit cost remains $350. The 2024 annual permit will be valid from Jan. 1, 2024 to Dec. 31, 2024. Quarterly permits are also available for $100 per quarter. To purchase a parking permit, visit bit.ly/3Ro0gZg.
An annual parking pass allows vehicles to park in marked spaces in city-owned public parking lots. This does not include parking in the Olive Street Parking Garage. Municipal parking lots include those between Chapman and Davis streets, at City Hall, and on Ames Street, Miles Street and Legion Avenue.
Permits must be hung from the rearview mirror or placed on the dashboard next to the inspection sticker, visible to parking enforcement. Violation of these guidelines may result in a parking ticket. Permit holders are responsible for their permits. There is a $20 fee for replacing lost permits.
GREENFIELD — The All Souls Choir and Fiery Hope chorus will perform at All Souls Church as part of “A Celebration of Hope and Light” on Sunday, Dec. 24, at 7 p.m.
GREENFIELD — The Department of Public Works is issuing the following reminders regarding snow and ice cleanup this season:
Emergency Winter Parking Ban: When the city declares a parking ban, vehicles are prohibited from parking on city streets and overnight in municipal lots, with the exception of designated areas of the lot between Chapman and Davis streets. In addition, the first three levels of the Olive Street Parking Garage will be available for free overnight parking. Illegally parked vehicles may be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense. Once the parking ban has concluded, cars must vacate the Olive Street Parking Garage to avoid incurring parking fees.
Sidewalks: Owners of properties that abut public sidewalks are responsible for the removal of snow from sidewalks within 24 hours after the end of the snowfall, as set forth in city ordinance 159-16.
Fire Hydrants: Owners of properties that abut public fire hydrants should remove a 2-foot-wide path of snow to and around the hydrant within 24 hours after the end of the snowfall, as set forth in city ordinance 159-25.
Trash and Recycling: Trash and recycling items placed at the curb must be accessible from the street side of the snowbank. In most cases, a “shelf” can be easily shoveled into the snowbank to provide a suitable spot for containers and bags, or items can be placed at the end of the driveway. Trash and recycling located on the sidewalk behind snowbanks will not be collected.
Sand: Greenfield residents can pick up free winter sand at the DPW yard at 209 Wells St. Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and during storm operations. The sand is located to the right when entering the parking lot.
