Belmont Blizzard Reminders: Parking Ban Ends, Keep Snow Off the Roadways

While the storm has passed, the clean up of the Blizzard of 2013 will continues as more than two feet of snow has fallen on Belmont.

The most immediate task for most residents is digging out vehicles, sidewalks and businesses from the wind-driven snow. 

The town will continue to man the snow emergency HOTLINE at 617-993-2698.

For any power outages, residents should call the customer service line at the Belmont Municipal Light Department at 617-993-2800.

The Highway Division, which kept the roads passable during and after the storm, reminds residents not to place snow back onto the roadway while digging out by shovel or snowblower as it creates dangerous spots in the road and narrows the street for emergency vehicles.

The Belmont Police Department would like to remind citizens that parking for more than hour between the hours of 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. is prohibited on all of Belmont’s public and private ways.  

And while the parking ban connected to the snow emergency declared on Friday will end at 8 a.m. today, Sunday, Feb. 10, Police are asking residents not to place vehicles on the street for extended periods of time since the roadway are quite narrow due to the amount of snow Belmont and the region received.
