The rule for space savers, established by former Mayor Tom Menino, is they can be used for up to 48 hours after the end of a snow emergency. Since the most recent snow emergency lifted at 6 p.m. Tuesday, that means space savers need to be gone from your street by 6 p.m. Thursday.

We’ve installed a nifty little countdown clock on the right sidebar of this website as a reminder.

Parking Ban to be Lifted at 6 p.m. Tuesday

As the city enjoys a day of sun and no additional snow, Mayor Marty Walsh announced the parking ban would be lifted at 6 p.m. Tuesday. The parking ban applies to major arteries to keep them clear for emergency vehicles. JP is home to several of these stretches.

What’s Open, Closed in JP

In contrast to last week’s blizzard, a lot more is staying open during Monday’s storm. For instance, the T is trying to run a regular schedule. Here’s our ongoing list of what’s open and closed.
