Boston Mayor Marty Walsh announced Tuesday morning that he was lifting the city s snow emergency and parking ban at noon.
That means residents parked in discounted lots and garages have until 2 p.m. to move their vehicles before regular rates resume.
Residents whose vehicles have been towed due to the storm can look them up on the city s online database or by calling the Boston Transportation Department at (617) 635-3900 or the Boston Police Department at (617) 343-4629 to find out which tow company was used if it wasn t towed by the transportation department. Parking your car in Boston when a snowstorm hits is a pain, but Maureen and Heather from Caught in Southie are here to help.
