Mayor Thomas M. Menino today declared that a snow emergency and parking ban will go into effect at 2:00 p.m. this afternoon. Putting public safety as the top priority, Mayor Menino reminded residents of the following:
Please also remember to help your neighbors.
- Move cars from main arterials during snow emergencies. A listing of main arterials can be found at: www.cityofboston.gov/snow/parking/asp.
- Do not park cars within 20 feet of an intersection. Parking too close to an intersection can restrict emergency vehicle access.
- Do not throw snow back into the street. “Throwbacks” force the city to remove snow from the same street twice.
- Shovel out fire hydrants close to your home.
- Property owners are reminded to shovel snow from sidewalks that abut homes and businesses.
- Keep wheelchair ramps clear.
- Check on elderly and neighbors and others in need.
- Take extra precaution near school bus stops where children may be waiting without parental supervision.
- Treat non-working traffic lights as stop signs and proceed cautiously at intersections.
- Any Space-savers in on-street parking spaces that have been cleared should be removed 48 hours after a snow storm has ended.
During declared snow emergencies, discounted parking is available at several parking lots and garages to cars that display Boston resident parking stickers. A list of locations is available at www.cityofboston.gov/snow.
