Finding off-street parking in Haverhill, particularly during a snowy winter, can be a daunting task.
In an attempt to alleviate that problem, Haverhill City Councilor Joseph J. Bevilacqua presented two ideas at Tuesday night’s council meeting. The first was to allow parking in neighborhood school parking lots.
“During the times of snow emergencies, I would like to suggest that we encourage the neighbors and the residents to utilize the city school parking lot, which is not used during the evening hours and weekends especially,” he said.
The second part of his plan calls for contacting the Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority and asking for help to allow residents to park overnight in the MBTA lot on Washington Avenue when needed.
