Somerville to Change Snow Emergency Parking Policy

[pearlythebunny.livejournal.com]

From the City's website:
Alternating odd- and even-side parking takes effect for winter 2015, with switch to even-side parking beginning during 2016-17 season.

So nothing is different this winter, but next winter people will park during snow emergencies on the even side of the street.

B) Any issues caused by tying the parking side to the start of winter are well understood thanks to all those other communities who've been conducting live experiments for years or decades. I know of no community using such odd/even side rules that changes side with the New Year, as this could require instantaneous city-wide snow berm removal. Mostly, if you follow the lead of the other people who've parked nearby, you'll find you're on the correct side.

C) I visit Somerville often enough that getting it right does matter to me.
