CITY OF BOSTON DECLARES SNOW EMERGENCY, FRIDAY, FERUARY 24
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:
-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.

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
-Do not double park.
-Keep wheelchair ramps clear.
-Check on elderly and neighbors and others in need.
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. The city s Know Snow program will be in effect
this afternoon to alert residents of the snow emergency.

emergency goes into effect. Residents with storm-related questions or
concerns should call the center at (617) 635-3050, starting at 2:00 p.m.
