Parking Ban Activated for Thursday Night

An overnight winter parking ban will be in effect overnight on Thursday night, the Danvers Department of Public Works announced on Thursday afternoon.

The on-street parking ban will begin at 1 a.m. on Friday and run until 6 a.m.

The ban prohibits parking on all Danvers streets from 1-6 a.m. The DPW will make an announcement when the ban has ended.

Vehicles parked on the street during the ban are subject to towing. Cars that are towed are charged $125 for the tow, $35 for storage and $15 for the parking ticket.

"Thank you for your cooperation as we work to make the streets safe during the coming storm," the DPW said in its announcement of the ban.
