Wellesley’s compliments end on Jan. 3

The last day of free, holiday-time, 2-hour street meter parking in Wellesley is Tue., Jan. 3, 2023.

So make sure you feed the beast or you’ll get a parking ticket, and that’s no way to start out the new year.

We’ll miss jumping out of our vehicle without a thought to how we would make rent for our prime on-street space. Now it’s back to using the app or hunting around for change to stay on the good side of the parking clerk. Free parking was fun while it lasted.
