As a major winter storm continues to impact the region, the city of Norwalk, Connecticut and Norwalk Public Schools have issued a reminder to residents not to park overnight in school parking lots. This will allow the city's Department of Public Works to properly clear the lots and treat them, avoiding delays or disruptions to school operations the following day. Vehicles left in the lots may be towed if they block snow removal efforts.
Why it matters
