What Are Medford's New Winter Parking Rules?

The city's winter parking rules have changed dramatically – make sure you're in the loop.

In case you haven’t been paying attention, Medford’s one-side, overnight winter parking ban, which had been in place from Dec. 1 to April 1, has been eliminated – except during city-declared snow emergencies.

(Since December is in an odd year – 2013 – vehicles will only be allowed to park on the odd side of the street during snow emergencies.)

How will I know if the city declares a snow emergency?

All snow emergencies should be posted on the city website and by local media, including Medford Patch. However, the easiest way to get notified is by signing up for the city’s email, phone or text alerts here (we recommend doing so).

(Also, follow the city on Facebook and Twitter, and Medford Patch on Facebook and Twitter.)
