I haven’t gotten my regular recorded phone call from the police department on the subject, but the Lowell Sun says there’s going to be a city-wide, on-street parking ban starting tomorrow morning at 6:00. This also means that cars need to be moved from the Canal Place surface lot for plowing as per the Snow Storm Parking policy.
I just checked the Police Department’s Facebook page; here’s the official announcement:
A Snow Emergency Parking Ban has been declared effective Saturday, December 17, 2016 at 12:00 A.M. The ban shall be effective six hours later at 6:00 AM. on Saturday, December 17 , 2016.
There shall be no parking on all City Streets from 6:00 AM. until such time that the ban is lifted. Motor vehicles parking in violation of such ban (City Ordinance, § 266-103: Parking prohibited) are subject to towing under the authority of the Lowell Police Department and such towing will be at the owner’s expense (§ 266-104: Removal authorized; charges). Motor Vehicles shall also receive a parking violation ticket.
FREE Parking for City residents who do not have access to “off-street” parking during “Snow Emergency – Parking Ban” is available at:
George Ayotte Parking Facility Joseph Downes Garage Lower Locks Garage
1 Post Office Square 75 John Street 90 Warren Street
Lowell, MA 01852 Lowell, MA 01852 Lowell, MA 01852
Once the “Snow Emergency” is lifted, any City of Lowell residents that have parked in the George Ayotte Parking Facility or the Edward Early Jr. Garage will have 2 hours to remove their vehicles from either facility without incurring any additional expenses. Vehicles not removed within two hours will be assessed a fee from that time until the vehicle is removed.
