The temporary reprieve for un-shoveled sidewalks has ended, as of 12:00PM today (12/23). The city granted the moratorium on citations in recognition of the massive amounts of snow individuals have had to deal with, and the fact that many city buildings have failed to conform to the clear sidewalk campaign. Typically home & business owners are required to have pedestrian areas cleared of snow by noon after a snowfall.
Tickets are also being issues for still buried vehicles in metered lots, although it is unclear whether those parked in posted hourly limit areas will be affected.
Meanwhile, in an effort to promote good cheer & holiday spending, the city has opened both it’s Water & Market Street parking garages for free through Christmas Eve. We are unsure if the problematic ‘lock-in’ policy is still in place at the Water St. facility, which has caught many owners unaware that they must vacate by midnight, or face increased charges to release their vehicle.

The Water Street garage has a big sign telling you that you’ll get dinged $50 if you need to get out past midnight. Don’t know about Market Street.
I just received an e-mail from the city that free parking has been extended through the 27th. Enjoy!
