With the MBTA commuter rail station and garage scheduled to open after 4:00 p.m. on October 24, the City of Salem and the MBTA have announced the following planned changes to on-street and lot parking on North Street and Bridge Street.

• No on-street parking on Bridge Street. On-street parking along the northern side of Bridge Street will be prohibited starting on Monday, November 3rd. This property is owned and controlled by the MBTA, not the City. The MBTA will be installing barricades to restrict parking in this area.
• Limited on-street parking on North Street. On-street satellite parking along North Street from the area near the intersection of Commercial Street to Leslie’s Retreat Park will return to its original restrictions from prior to the start of the MBTA garage project. These include 30 minute parking on the westerly side of North Street, south of Commercial Street, near O’Rourke Brothers Memorials (73 North Street) and no parking on the easterly side of North Street, from the intersection with Commercial Street to Leslie’s Retreat Park. This change takes effect Monday, November 3.
• Universal Steel lot parking rates. The parking rate to park in the City’s surface lot at the Universal Steel site (297 Bridge Street) would be $4/day, Mondays-Saturdays, commencing November 4, pending approval by the City Council and Parking Board. The rate has been submitted for the City Council’s vote at their meeting on October 23 and the Parking Board’s vote at their meeting on November 3.

City parking enforcement officers will be focusing on residential neighborhoods in the areas close by the garage in the days following the garage’s opening, to ensure that commuters and visitors are not parking in resident-only zones. They will also be patrolling the Bridge Street and North Street areas identified above to ensure vehicles are parked legally and safely.

In order to accommodate security requirements for the arrival of the Seabourne Quest cruise vessel at the Footprint Wharf adjacent to Salem Wharf on Blaney Street, the public parking lot at Salem Wharf on Blaney Street will be closed from Saturday, October 18 at 10:00 p.m. through Sunday, October 19 at 6:00 p.m.
Alternative overnight parking for residents in that area will be located at the Bentley School parking lot (25 Memorial Drive), the rear row of the VFW parking lot between the cones (95 Derby Street), and the parking lot of the House of the Seven Gables (115 Derby Street). Vehicles parked at the House of the Seven Gables must be removed before 8:30 a.m. Sunday morning. Vehicles parked at the Bentley School lot must be removed before 8:00 p.m. Sunday night.

Salem Ferry passengers who wish to park at the Blaney Street/Salem Wharf parking lot will be permitted access, but will need to pass through a security point. In addition, space will be limited in the parking lot; ferry passenger vehicles will be allowed access on a space available basis.

Please note that this is expected to be a one-time occurrence. The City is working with Footprint Power to develop a more permanent security checkpoint and cruise passenger disembarking facility on Footprint property. Until such a facility has been developed, however, the City and the Salem Harbormaster will be staging the security and disembarkation facilities for the Seabourne Quest in the Blaney Street parking lot for October 18-19.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this will cause and appreciate your continued patience with the many changes taking place on Blaney Street and at the Footprint site.
