This Winter Season: Park on the Odd Side of the Road During Snow Emergencies

During snow emergencies this winter, residents must park on the ODD side of the road only, unless otherwise posted. Residents encouraged to sign up for City alerts in advance.

As snow season approaches, the City of Somerville reminds all residents that for winter season 2019-2020, the side of the street where snow emergency parking is allowed will change to the odd side.

In 2015, the City instituted an annually-alternating parking policy for snow emergencies, using odd-side-only parking for winter seasons that begin in an odd year and even-side-only parking for winter seasons that begin in an even year. Winter seasons begin in November and run until May of the following calendar year.
