Heat Map Shows Which Streets Will See Most Disruption with Fall Move-In

CAMBRIDGE, MA — As Harvard welcomes the Class of 2020 (sorry if that makes you feel ancient), the rest of us are bracing ourselves for weeks of less than zero street parking and confused pandemonium in Harvard Square (as well as, really, anywhere with moderately priced drinks within walking distance of campus).

In short, the freshmen have arrived, and the rest are on their way.

As Boston Magazine first pointed out, the city has mapped out its street parking permit data to chart where that move-in mania will be the worst. That is to say, you now know where to avoid.
