The City of Watertown announced the dates of the Winter Parking Ban, see the announcement below:
Effective Monday, Nov. 28, 2022 and continuing to April 1, 2023 the Winter Parking Ban will be in effect and strictly enforced. The regulation reads in part; “No vehicle may remain on any public way for more than one hour between the hours of 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. all days of the week”.
For residents who lack sufficient off-street parking, the City allows for temporary parking at any municipal parking lot and other locations noted:
- The police station at 552 Main St. (visitor’s parking lot only)
- Any public school parking lot
- Victory Field parking lot
- O’Connell Park, 341 Mt. Auburn Street (lot at the corner of Boylston Street and Mt Auburn Street only)
- Filippello Park parking area, 191 Grove St. (No parking in the spaces along the driveway)
- 101 Morse St. – 14 spaces at the rear of the parking lot (currently being constructed, available once completed)
Please remember that parking your vehicle upon any sidewalk is prohibited. Your cooperation in keeping the streets clear of overnight parking and your sidewalks clear of snow and ice will make for safer driving and walking conditions and at the same time, allow the opportunity for the Public Works Department to perform necessary street cleaning and maintenance.
There are two municipal lots in Watertown Square:
- Behind CVS at 27 Main St. – Use metered spaces only
- Behind the Public Library – 123 Main St.
There is one municipal lot in Coolidge Square:
- Behind CVS at 655 Mt. Auburn Street – Use metered spaces only. DO NOT PARK IN SPACES DESIGNATED FOR CVS, CITIZEN’S BANK OR OTHER PRIVATE BUSINESSES.
Please note that these locations may be used free of charge, however vehicles may only use available spaces after 7 p.m. and must be removed by 7 a.m. the following day. Vehicles must be removed from school property no later than 6 a.m. Violators may be towed.
