Parking restrictions in effect as of 10 pm Friday
(MEDFORD)—The
City of Medford is declaring a snow emergency to go into effect at 10
p.m. on Friday. Department of Public Works staff will work throughout
the night and into the day Saturday prepping and removing snow from the
roadways. With forecasts predicting over two feet of snow, please be
patient as crews will be working as fast as possible to make roads
accessible.
Parking restrictions will go into effect at 10 p.m., including:
·
On secondary roads, parking is allowed on the ODD side of the street
only. Cars parked on the even side of the street during snow emergencies
will be ticketed and towed.
·
On main arteries, there is NO PARKING allowed on either side of the
street. There is signage posted on these main arteries, and a full list
of streets is at http://www.medfordma.org/snow.
If you live on a main artery, you may park on a secondary road, even if
it is permit parking as these restrictions are temporarily lifted
during a snow emergency. Once the snow emergency is lifted, parking
enforcement will resume as usual.
Please
note that the DPW yard will not be accepting recycling drop-offs on
Saturday due to the storm. Also, the use of traffic cones to save
parking spaces on the street is not allowed and should be brought
inside. If cones are on the street crews will remove them.

Shoveling Information
Per
City Ordinance, residents must shovel their sidewalks within 6 daylight
hours of the end of a snowstorm. Failure to do so may result in fines.
Make
sure to clear openings at corners, crosswalks, curb cuts, bus stops and
fire hydrants so pedestrians and emergency personnel can access areas
efficiently. DO NOT shovel snow or ice into the street.
If you need assistance with shoveling, the City publishes a list of available shovelers at www.medfordma.org/snow, or by calling the Medford Council on Aging at 781-396-6010.
