Boston: Snow Emergency and Parking Ban to End, January 26, at 8 p.m.; Schools Closed Tomorrow, January 27

~ Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has announced that the snow emergency and parking ban, which have been in effect due to the recent winter storm, will be lifted at 8 p.m. today. This means that residents who have parked their cars in participating discounted garages must remove them by 10 p.m. to avoid being charged regular rates. More information about parking during snow emergencies can be found on the city's website, boston.gov/snow-parking.

In addition, Mayor Wu has reminded residents that space savers must be removed by 8 p.m. on Wednesday, January 28, which is 48 hours after the end of the snow emergency. The use of space savers is strictly prohibited in the South End and Bay Village at all times. Any space savers found violating these rules may be collected and discarded by the Public Works Department (PWD).

The decision to lift the snow emergency and parking ban comes after Boston received a total of 19 inches of snow in the last 24 hours, with more expected overnight and frigid temperatures continuing throughout the week. As a result, Boston Public Schools will remain closed tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27. This additional day off will allow city crews to properly clear sidewalks and widen roadways for safe travel for children and the 700 bus fleet.
