Details on Snow Emergency

To the Residents of South Boston:

 

A Winter Storm Warning has been issued throughout Massachusetts.  The City of Boston has also declared a Snow Emergency and Parking Ban that will go into effect at noon today.  Due to the Snow Emergency, parking is prohibited on all major roadways and arteries throughout Boston.  The purpose of the ban is to keep major roadways accessible for snowplows and emergency response vehicles.  Those found violating the ban will be subject to ticketing and towing.  As an alternative, parking garages will be made available for cars with resident stickers. 

 

In South Boston, the following roads are subject to the Parking Ban:

 

A St.

B St. (from West First St. to West Second St.)

Boston St.

West Second St. (from B St. to Dorchester Ave.)

Additionally, the Department of Conservation and Recreation closed Morrissey Boulevard earlier this morning and it will remain closed until further notice.

 

While parking on these roads is prohibited until the ban is lifted, those with resident stickers can park at the following garages:

 

12 Drydock Ave. 1766 spaces               

450 West Broadway 60 spaces

650-652 East Broadway 22 spaces

As a result of the Snow Emergency, Boston Public Schools will also be closed tomorrow, January 3, 2014.   

 

The Mayor's 24-Hour Hotline is open and those with weather-related questions or concerns, including icy conditions or downed power lines/trees, should call (617) 635-4500.

 

The City's Shelter Commission asks that any resident who sees a potential medical emergency involving a homeless person dial 9-1-1.  

 

Lastly, just a reminder to please check on any elderly neighbors or family members who may need help during the Snow Emergency.  

 

If you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

 

Sincerely,
