The snow emergency is no longer in effect
Update: January 28, 2015 3:00 pm
The snow emergency parking ban will remain in effect until 8:00 am on Thursday, January 29, 2015. All vehicles must remain off the streets until the ban has been lifted.
All vehicles parked in alternate lots must be removed promptly following the end of the parking ban to allow for snow removal in municipal and school lots.
Once the ban has been lifted the Salem Police may restrict certain streets to parking on one side due to the snow. This decision will be made on a street by street basis and will be prominently posted.
