Davis Square Parking assistance, please!- thanks!

Hello all!

I have been hours & hours online & joined this community after reading many, many other posts about parking & tickets & street sweeping & snow emergencies... Hopefully someone out there can help me.

I am a nurse practitioner and I just got offered a new job in Davis Square (at the family practice) (yeah!) but I may not be able to take it because I am having a very tough time finding parking (I know, I know, "take the T!"- but I have 2 very small kids to get to/from daycare and I am in Melrose, and there is no easy/quick way to make the T work after factoring in a regular work day plus commute time and the time constraints of the daycare- but I digress.)

I am looking for somewhere close to the square to put my car on Mondays and Tuesdays, from about 7:45 am to about 5 pm.

I know parking is scarce in these parts but I am hoping to find someone who has (or knows someone who might have) a space that they vacate during the work day, or any business that might rent a spot for a reasonable fee.

Failing that, does anyone know the latest time I could arrive at Alewife and still (reliably) get a spot there?

I do appreciate any assistance anyone can give me, including suggestions as to where else I might post this request.

Thank you so much!

You know you're right - it goes to Cedar, not Willow. It's still two solid long blocks that usually have plenty of parking during working hours, and it's not that insane of a walk.

And the end near Cedar is certainly not more than a 10 minute walk to Davis.
