As snow falls on Cambridge, plows are struggling to clear the streets. The problem: on-street parkers who haven’t moved their cars ahead of today’s storm.
The city issued an alert to residents of Cambridgeport, Riverside, and Wellington-Harrington, where
compliance for the city’s on-street parking ban has been low. The excess number of cars still on the road is “presenting challenges for plowing and tow operators,” according to Jeremy Warnick, the city’s director of media relations.
This occurs as the city rushes to remove accumulated snow off the streets and onto its “snow farm” in Danehey Park.
The parking ban is in effect on many major Cambridge streets, including Massachusetts Ave., Broadway, and Mount Auburn. Major streets impacted in Riverside and Cambridgeport include Putnam Ave., Western Ave., and River Street. Major streets impacted in Wellington-Harrington include Cambridge St. and Hampshire St.
