Snow Parking Ban

No person owning, operating or controlling a motor vehicle, shall park, or cause to be parked, said motor vehicle on any street or road within the Town of Lincoln so as to obstruct the plowing of snow from November 15th through April 15th, both inclusive; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to motor vehicles owned, operated or controlled by persons attending the sick or injured, or attending church services. *

Lincoln Gap:
We want to remind you that in spite of the sometimes balmy weather, the Lincoln Gap Road is closed from October through May. If you choose to go over the Gap, you do so totally at your own risk. Town trucks and tow trucks will not come sand, plow or tow you if you get stuck.  Of course, if you are lost or injured and need emergency care, call 9-1-1, but be prepared to wait as rescue teams will likely be coming to you on foot since the road is not maintained in winter. Even if your GPS says the road is open, kindly remind yourself that you are smarter than your GPS, because you can read the sign that says “Road Closed.”

Transfer Station:
And one more winter reminder: If you are at the Transfer Station when the plow is there, please wait in the driveway until they are done clearing the drop-off areas. When the plow heads out, you can go in. Even if it seems to you that there is plenty of room for everyone if you park “out of the way”, in fact it takes them longer to plow and can be unsafe.
