Winter parking restrictions are now in effect on bus-route designated streets, including portions of Richmond and Plymouth avenues and Niagara, Maryland and York streets.
Parking is not allowed between 1:30 a.m. and 7 a.m. on any portion of a street where passenger buses operate, with a few exceptions.
The first exception prohibits parking at all times on one side of the street; parking continues to be allowed at all times on the opposite side of the street.
According to the City of Buffalo's parking website, routes affected include West Delavan Avenue between Niagara and Herkimer streets (even side), Maryland Street between Efner and College streets (odd side), and West Utica Street between Rhode Island and Chenango streets (odd.)
The second exception allows parking on one side of the street at all times, when not prohibited by alternate parking regulations. Streets affected by this restriction include College Street between Cottage and Maryland streets (even), Cottage Street between Virginia and Maryland streets, and Jersey Street between Lakeview Avenue and Seventh Street (even).
Lastly, the third exception means that parking is allowed on both sides of the street at all times when alternate parking regulations do not prohibit it. This affects Normal Avenue between Hampshire and York streets (odd), Plymouth Avenue between Hudson and Hampshire streets (even), Richmond Avenue between Porter Avenue, North Street and West Ferry Street (odd), and York Street between Normal and West avenues (odd.)
These regulations will be enforced daily until April 1 between the hours of 1:30 and 7 a.m. Full list of exceptions. By Melissa Kania and Kevin Freiheit
