Although spring begins today at 8:07 p.m., the parking ban season lasts six more weeks: until April 30.  That means that streets with permanent ban status still have no parking from 2 – 6 a.m. through the end of April.  Yes, even if there is no snow in sight, the permanent parking ban continues.  I think the city should change that date to Tax Day or Patriots Day.  They could still declare a parking ban if necessary after the end of the permanent ban.

Speaking of declared bans, the most recent one lasted 72.5 hours: 12 noon Friday – 12:30 p.m. Monday.  I hope you made it through the storm without incident.
