SNOW EMERGENCY IN EFFECT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE 

The City of Salem Snow Emergency parking ban is still in place and will likely remain in effect until Wednesday night. Please consult the city’s website www.salem.com or the Salem Police Snow Emergency Line at 978-744-0171, ext. 166 for a specific time the snow parking ban will be lifted.

During the Snow Emergency a parking ban is in effect, and vehicles must be totally removed from city streets and sidewalks throughout the entire duration of the snow emergency or your vehicle will be ticketed and towed. If your vehicles are on the roadway we cannot effectively plow your street. Do NOT return your vehicle to the street until the emergency is officially over, even if your street has been plowed. It will be ticketed and towed away.

Salem Public School will be cancelled on Wednesday, January 28th, and all City offices except for DPW and police and fire will be closed. This includes the Council on Aging and the library. The Mayor’s office will be open on Wednesday from noon to 4pm.

Trash and recycling will be picked up on a one-day delay for the week starting with tomorrow’s collection. Today’s collection will be picked up tomorrow, tomorrow’s on Thursday, and so forth. Compost pick-up will happen tomorrow and Thursday as normally scheduled.

  

Please remember that vehicles must be removed from snow emergency parking lots, particularly at schools, immediately following the cancellation of the snow emergency. Cars left in school lots at the end of the emergency may be towed.

We would also like to thank you in advance for shoveling your sidewalks and ask that you also clear the snow around the hydrants near your property so that they can be accessible to firefighters in case of an emergency.
