If you live in Ward Seven, or if you have a Zone 1 parking permit (which, I guess may apply to people in other wards) don't forget to put your new resident parking sticker on your car.

On my drive this morning, I saw DOZENS of bright orange pieces of paper staring back at me on cars with the old sticker. The city is not giving any leniency in this matter, near as I can tell.

My plate ends in 6, my tags renew in May.

And unless you change your place of residence, your Somerville parking zone won't change either.

My residence did change, and I still have the same number on my parking sticker as before - and my residence change is on my registration.

Oops, I guess I should have said "unless you change your place of residence to a different parking zone." Obviously one can move within a zone and still have the same number on one's parking sticker....

I'm in a way different "zone".

Does someone have a map of these zones?

Because, seriously, in my neighborhood I have seen, on cars that are regularly parked there, well over three different numbered stickers.

Well you can park in any zone with resident parking -- so some of your neighbors may have lived in a another zone, gotten the permit for that zone and then moved. When they go to renew, they'll get a sticker for the new zone (if they are in a new zone).

I moved from near the hidden donut factory to over by gilman square.

I still have the same number sticker, two renewals later.

My guess is that Gilman Square is near the border of two or three zones, so there are cars parked around there with two or three different resident parking numbers.
