The law is coming to the Wild, Wild West of parking known as the lower section of Belmont Street.
Due to long-standing complaints of vehicles and commuters habitually ignoring the town’s parking bylaws along the eastern end of the main traffic artery, Belmont Police will begin vigorously enforcing the parking code beginning Monday, June 3.
The
The town’s Parking Control Officers will enforce:
• all posted parking signs such as “1 or 2 hour parking limits” and “no parking to the corner”,
• MBTA bus stops, and
• unposted parking bylaws including no parking within 20 feet of an intersection, blocking bike lanes, driveways or fire hydrants.
On our block (165 Belmont St. ) we have only a one hour limit. There is a dentist, hair salon/barber shop ,laundromat, yoga studio, and children’s playtime studio. We all need more than the one hour time limit for our customers. We at 165 Belmont have a lot of elderly that even spend more time. Please increase our time.
