- Shoutout to Will from West Roxbury for responsible post-storm snow removal: ✅ Clearing space so wheelchairs and strollers can safely pass. ✅ It's his neighbor's property - helping out a friend in need. ✅ Not throwing snow back into the street. Let's all be like Will.
- Mayor Wu announced that the snow emergency and parking ban currently in effect will be lifted today at 8 p.m. Residents parked in participating discounted garages must remove their cars by 10 p.m. to avoid being charged regular rates. More information is available at boston.gov/snow-parking.
