Coronavirus Stamford: City Suspends Pay To Park Requirements

STAMFORD, CT — Stamford has suspended its pay to park requirements for all city metered parking spaces until further notice, city officials announced late Tuesday. The announcement comes as the state, and the nation, grapples with the new coronavirus.

Parking time restrictions are still in place under this new policy, city officials said. The change was made partially to encourage residents to use pick up and takeout services provided by restaurants and businesses in the city. (To sign up for Stamford breaking news alerts and more, click here.)

Additionally, Stamford’s Downtown Special Services District continues to disinfect high-touch areas in the downtown area, including crosswalk signals and parking meters.

The virus, also referred to as COVID-19, is caused by a member of the coronavirus family that's a close cousin to the SARS and MERS viruses that have caused outbreaks in the past.
