The City of Cambridge has declared a Snow Emergency Parking Ban Effective at 11:00 PM on Thursday, January 20, 2011. During a Snow Emergency, parking is prohibited on streets signed "No Parking During Snow Emergency" and vehicles will be towed. A list and map of these particular streets is available on the Traffic Department Website under Snow Storm Procedures.

Four parking facilities provide free parking when a declared snow emergency is in effect:

•Galleria Mall. Residents of East Cambridge can park for free in the Galleria Mall Garage when the declared snow emergency is in effect.
•First Street Garage. Enter on Spring Street. Parking is free if you have a Cambridge resident parking permit from the time when the declared snow emergency is in effect until 2 hours after it is lifted.
•Green Street Garage, Central Square. Parking is free if you have a Cambridge resident parking permit from the time when the declared snow emergency is in effect until 2 hours after it is lifted.
•52 Oxford Garage. This is a Harvard owned and operated garage. When a Snow Emergency is declared it is open to City residents with a resident parking permit on a space available basis for no fee from the time when the declared snow emergency is in effect until one hour after the snow emergency is lifted. Space is limited, and availability is on a first-come, first-served basis. The University reserves the right to cease admittance due to capacity limitations and operation issues.

Updates:
Any updates and information on when the ban will be lifted will be made available once determined via a recorded message during non-business hours and live assistance during business hours at the Traffic Department number, 617-349-4700 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              617-349-4700      end_of_the_skype_highlighting.
