Residents parked in discounted lots and garages around the city must remove their cars by 8 a.m. Monday to avoid being charged regular rates. Space savers are permitted for 48 hours after the end of the emergency and prohibited at all times in the South End. Space savers that violate these rules may be collected and discarded by the Public Works Department.
The PWD had over 920 pieces of snow and ice control equipment treating and clearing Boston’s streets throughout the storm and are continuing the snow removal Sunday.
“This was a historic storm, and we truly saw so much collaboration from our city workers and the community,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “I’m so grateful for the incredible teamwork to have the roads mostly cleared already. I’m so thankful to everyone who took the time to check on their neighbors and stayed off the streets.”
Wu urges residents to abide by snow regulations. Wu also urges residents to offer help with shoveling sidewalks, fire hydrants, and pedestrian ramps to older adults and neighbors with disabilities as the Blizzard cleanup is still ongoing.
