Salem Parking Ban Lifted As Cleanup Efforts Ongoing Following Massive Winter Storm

SALEM, MA — Salem's snow emergency parking ban was lifted as of mid-morning on Tuesday as cleanup efforts continue across the city with nearly two feet of fresh snow still clogging streets and parking lots.

The parking ban was lifted at 9 a.m. Those who parked their cars in school lots during the ban are asked to remove them so they can be cleared for the hopeful resumption of classes on Wednesday, following two days off.

This is especially time-sensitive for those in lots adjacent to Collins Middle School on Jackson Street,
and at Saltonstall School.

Salem City Hall was set to reopen at 10 a.m. on Tuesday.

Trash and recycling pickup resumed on Tuesday with a one-day pickup delay for the rest of the week. There may be additional delays, however, depending on street conditions.

Residents are asked to put bins as close to the curb as possible for Waste Management to reach them

Residents and business owners are urged to clear sidewalks adjacent to their property as soon as possible once the snow ban has been lifted.

The Salem Fire Department is requesting assistance in clearing the snow from around fire hydrants in front of and near property, as this will allow them to find them much more easily.
