DANVERS, MA — Danvers residents will once again have to move their vehicles from public town streets on Tuesday night, with predictions of 2 to 4 inches expected as part of the latest storm.

The declaration comes on the heels of two major snowstorms in recent weeks that have left streets narrowed with little place to put additional snow.
