Cambridge Parking Restrictions, Snow Removal Continues

CAMBRIDGE, MA – City snow removal work will continue overnight Tuesday, focusing on locations around Cambridge identified by the public works, traffic, police, fire and school departments. Salting and snow removal operations will be done at multiple areas to help widen streets, increase vision at corners and improve access at intersections for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles, according to a city announcement.

These streets are marked with either "flip-down" metal signs or temporary paper signs that say "TOW ZONE-No Parking Until Further Notice-Traffic Clearance" (See list below).

• Bigelow Street
• Bishop Allen Drive (Norfolk Street to Columbia Street)
• Brattle Street (near Church Street)
• Church Street (Palmer to Brattle)
• Concord Avenue (Huron Avenue to Walden Street)
• Inman Street
• Magazine Street
• Oxford Street
• Pearl Street
• Putnam Ave- (Pearl to Waverly)
• Rindge Avenue (Clay St. to Russell Field)

With warmer temperatures and rain expected for later in the week, residents are asked to clear catch basins to help minimize flooding once the snow starts to melt.

Note: Know of a street, bike lane, or sidewalk that needs clearing? Use the Commonwealth Connect app or report online at www.CambridgeMA.gov/CommonwealthConnect. City crews will be checking reports and addressing locations when crews are available.

For people experiencing homelessness, the Caspar emergency services center and the Salvation Army are accepting guests above the usual bed count.
