Parking updates

Feb. 2025–The Department of Public Works is reminding residents to refrain from parking vehicles on public roadways or in public parking lots during snow storms.

Vehicles parked in these areas during storms impact the Town’s ability to safely and properly remove snow and make roads safe for travel.  Instead, vehicles should be parked in driveways and other off-the-road locations to allow plows to clear streets.

Also, please remember that Town of Wellesley bylaws prohibit the parking of vehicles overnight on public ways.

Snow removal and clean up activities commonly take place during  overnight hours, and vehicles parked in the public way impede this process. Vehicles parked overnight in the public way may be ticketed and/or towed.
