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.

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.
