The city announced on Tuesday afternoon that due to recent strides made in snow removal from city streets, Boston’s snow emergency parking ban would be lifted at 6 p.m. Tuesday night.
“Our snow removal teams did great work throughout the night last night,” Mayor Menino said. “Our crews will be out there all day and again tonight as we continue to widen roads, make our schools safe for students, and respond to residents’ concerns about residential areas.”
Those who parked their cars in garages during the snow emergency have until 8 p.m. to move them before reduced rates expire.
The city also announced certain streets will continue to be specified as “No Parking” while crews continue to remove snow.
The mayor also announced on Tuesday that Boston Public Schools would reopen on Wednesday.
