Empty Parking Lot on Broadway

[balsamicdragon.livejournal.com]

Hey there! My sister is visiting us for Thanksgiving,... in her 73 foot long tractor trailer! I am trying to find a place for her to park her truck. Does anyone have contact info for the folks that own the old Shaw's lot? Alternately, does anyone know of a good place to park a tractor trailer that is on the T or a bus line?

Thank you!!!

[Edit]

Thanks to everyone for their helpful suggestions! I think we have not only a plan, but a reasonable back-up plan in case that falls through :) Thanks again!

I think the problem will be turn radius more than anything, but yeah, a trailer of that weight is probably going to be bad for a residential driveway.... The city doesn't ticket on Thursday and Friday, but I still need a place that's big enough.

Is it going to be loaded or not? if unloaded, the weight distribution might be fine. Or not.


The city isn't going to ticket for residential parking. I'm not sure if that applies to the no-commercial-vehicles midnight-6am restriction for on-street parking. (I know some on-street places in Medford that would work, if the Medford didn't have a 'no overnight parking for vehicles over one ton' policy.)

Are you sure Friday is a resident parking (and meter?) holiday?

It's not a legal holiday, and there is trash pickup.

In NYC, the Friday after Thanksgiving is the busiest day of the year for meter maids, since many drivers incorrectly assume it's a meter holiday.

That's what they told me in traffic and parking. They could be wrong tho...
