No parking will be allowed on any municipal streets. Violators shall be subjected to ticketing and/or towing.

Municipal lots are available for those who have no other accommodations. Meter fees must be paid during normal meter hours. Residents can use one of our many kiosks or download the PassportParking app.

The MBTA garage located on Rantoul Street is available to residents at a discounted rate.

Short-term parking downtown will be allowed during business hours. Overnight parking will not be allowed.

"There were several comments made on the department Facebook page that the police department isn't tagging and towing on side streets," Beverly police said. "Unfortunately our four-officer team had to focus on the downtown area because there were so many violations and the streets are so tight and need to be cleared.

"Over 77 vehicles were tagged and 46 were towed last storm. We need to do better as a community and help out public works by removing all vehicles from the street during a snow emergency."
