If your car is parked in the surface lot, it needs to be moved by this afternoon to avoid risk of towing, as per the condo association’s snow parking policy. Here’s the city parking info as it appears on the Lowell Police Facebook page:
A Snow Emergency Parking Ban has been declared effective Saturday, January 7, 2017 at 7:00 A.M. The ban shall be effective six hours later at 1:00 PM. on Saturday, January 7, 2017.
There shall be no parking on all City Streets from 1:00 PM. 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
1 Post Office Square
Lowell, MA 01852
Joseph Downes Garage
75 John Street
Lowell, MA 01852
Lower Locks Garage

Once the “Snow Emergency” is lifted, any City of Lowell residents that have parked in the free parking spaces will have 2 hours to remove their vehicles from the 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.
