davis_squareQuestions for the Davis Square community. I apologize if these are dumb or have already been asked.
We're moving from Medford ("ample parking day or night") to one of the streets a few blocks away from Davis. There are 4 of us moving in. In terms of getting parking stickers, all four of us have a car and will need stickers. Also, we are moving within a couple weeks time. I have some questions about setting up our parking situation.
The somerville website says you need a registration (Car registration?) and a utility bill with your name and address on them indicating that you live there. How anal is town hall about the proof of residence? Do you think we will be able to use the lease doc with our 4 names on it as proof of residency, or do we need to get utility bills first? (which would be a pain since probably one of us will be the named person on all the utilities)
Should we plan RMV trips to get our registrations all changed immediately?
Can each of the 4 of us get the 2 guest parking cards or is that 2 per-household?
Are any of the streets off Elm street near Davis non-resident parking friendly? (for when our friends visit)

Ah, Somerville parking...

I called in to ask if I could come get my permit with a utility bill, despite not having the letter and change of address sticker from the RMV yet, and they said yes, as long as I had changed my address with my car insurance carrier. That is not mentioned anywhere on the web site that I can see; I just happened to be lucky enough to get this info over the phone!!
There is a 30 day grace period, but you have to buy a $10 hang-tag at Holland Street to hang from your rear-view mirror during the grace period. Annoying, but better than getting tickets.
