Did you know? Many of Medford’s streets are Private Ways. Simply put, Private Ways are typically streets that are owned and maintained primarily by property owners on those streets, while public roads are owned and primarily maintained by the City.
On Private Ways, both state law and City ordinances set rules about what parking regulations the City and the police department may and may not enforce. For example, the Medford Police Department may only enforce and/or authorize towing for public safety violations such as blocking a hydrant, blocking a driveway, or parking too close to an intersection.
If a resident or property owner on a Private Way would like to have a vehicle towed, please note that you must first post signage (see www.medfordma.org/private-ways for details), AND submit a form to the Medford Police Department. The form is available at the link above.
To help educate residents of Private Ways in Medford, the City has put together a summary of parking policies on Private Ways, as well as a form that residents must submit before having a vehicle towed. You can find all of these documents at www.medfordma.org/private-ways. Please note that the summary provided is informational only and not intended as legal advice.
If you are a resident on a Private Way and you have questions about any of these policies, the City and the police department will be hosting virtual office hours on Wednesday, June 15, 2022 at 6:00pm to answer your questions and provide more information. To access the meeting follow the instructions below. You can also check the City calendar online anytime at www.medfordma.org/city-events.
