You can now park for three hours at lots in Davis Square. Weigh in on the change on our blog.

I suspect the biggest benefit to people who want to go to the Theater. Personally, unless I am trying to carry something heavy, I wouldn't even try to park in the Square. I have a resident permit, so I park at a friend's house and walk in for things like going to the theater, grabbing food before visiting a friend, etc. The bad driver/biker/pedestrian behavior in the square does put me off from shopping there as much as a I might otherwise, and so I find myself going more to Arlington & Medford. (Though it's not nearly as bad as Harvard Square!)

Harvard Square is a nightmare. Davis is far more a nightmare now than it was 10 or 15 years ago...or really, even 8 years ago. But, I think I'm so used to driving through the square now that it doesn't bother me as much as it used to.

If I do have those moments of dread at going through the square to get to the VFW and I know I won't be long or that it's later and I won't need to keep dashing to feed the meteres, I'll park in the lot by the T - but that's relatively rare.
