NEW ROCHELLE, NY (January 30, 2026) — The City of New Rochelle’s Department of Public Works has made more progress than anticipated in its three-night snow removal operation following Winter Storm Fern, with downtown clearing operations set to conclude tonight.
In an announcement dated January 29, 2026, the department stated the overnight work — running from 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. tonight and Friday — is intended to fully restore travel lanes and reopen unobstructed on-street parking along busy downtown roadways.
Thursday night crews will begin on Main Street at LeCount Place and work eastbound until Echo Avenue. They will then address Huguenot Street from Echo Avenue, moving westbound to Pintard Avenue. The downtown phase will wrap with Division Street South, Harrison Street and the Cedar Street extension between Huguenot Street and Harrison Street.
Parking on any affected roadways during operation hours is strictly prohibited. Vehicles that remain parked will be issued a violation and towed. The city will provide daily public updates as the operation progresses.
To accommodate vehicles displaced by the snow emergency and removal operation, the city is offering free garage parking on a first-come, first-served basis at the following municipal garages through 9 a.m. Saturday, January 31:
- Transit Center Garage (1 Station Plaza North), floors 4 and 5 only; non-permitted vehicles on lower floors must move
- New Roc Garage (31 LeCount Place)
- Guion Garage (116 Guion Place)
- Maple Avenue Garage (19 Maple Avenue)
- Illustrator Garage (600 North Ave)
- Highgarden Tower Garage (11 Garden Street)
The city’s free electric shuttle, CircuitNR, serves all listed parking facilities. The Ride Circuit app is available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play for ride information.
The New Rochelle City Code requires property owners to clear snow and ice from their sidewalks by noon each day and prohibits placement of snow from private property onto public streets or sidewalks.
