Some overnight parking allowed in Middlebury this winter

The Middlebury selectboard adopted a new winter parking policy that allows vehicles to park overnight on public streets and in public parking lots, except during snowstorms.

Middlebury residents will have a bigger, better Ilsley Library to admire and use starting in the summer of 2026. But between now and then, folks will face a few hardships — not the least of which could be finding a convenient downtown parking spot.

Police and other city officials will use a new app to help alert citizens when parking restrictions go into effect this winter.

Running afoul of Middlebury’s parking rules will now cost you $25 per infraction, up from the longstanding $5 fine that had been in place for most violations.
