City to restrict some overnight parking in downtown area

The City of Watertown will be prohibiting overnight parking in the downtown area on certain days beginning the week of August 18, 2025.
City Street Division crews will begin installing new “No Parking Signs” that identify days, times, and areas where overnight parking is not allowed. Parking will be prohibited every Wednesday from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. on streets, and every Thursday from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. on avenues.
The restrictions will be in place from May through October. The signs and future enforcement will help crews clean the roadways from curb to curb more efficiently without obstacles.
Weather permitting; the signs will be installed starting August 18 and completed in September, at which time enforcement will begin. The first ticket issued will be a written warning to provide motorists time to adjust to the change. The second citation and beyond will result in a $15 ticket.
These signs serve as a permanent reminder of these rules and will help keep downtown clean.
