Nonresident Parking

[edmokeski.livejournal.com]

So, my car has to go in to the shop for some major work. I'm taking it to a mechanic I trust down by my folks. Unfortunately, this means I need to swap cars with my dad for 3 weeks or so. Obviously, his car isn't going to have my resident parking sticker. I thought at first that I'd just slap my visitor's permit on it, but I've heard you can only use that for 2 or 3 consecutive days or something like that, and I need to do it for 3 weeks.

Way Back When, I used to have a car of my own with out of state plates, so couldn't get a sticker. I used to park down on Park Ave between Beacon and Somerville, where the parking doesn't require a resident's permit. However, that was when I used to live between Porter and Harvard, and Park was relatively convenient.

So, I'm looking for suggestions. Does anybody know (safe) streets near Davis that don't require resident's permits? I'm between College & Willow near Morrison Ave., so ideally I'd be looking for something on that side of the square, closer to me than Park (which is, well, far).

Any and all tips/hints/suggestions are appreciated!

Thirding the suggestion to call the parking office, with the caveat of personal experience- I've had them extend the time a friend could my vistor's permit to a week, and it only took one really easy call to get that done (of course, they don't seem to have a way of alerting the officer who goes around ticketing, and I collected a week's worth of tickets that I had to mail in and have nullified, but it all worked out in the end).
