Parking Ban Announced; Trash Pickup Delayed In Wakefield

Press release from the Town of Wakefield:

December 16, 2020

In 2015, Wakefield lifted its December-to-April on-street parking ban and now enforces parking limitations on an emergency basis.

In preparation for the upcoming storm, a parking ban has been issued from 10 p.m. on Wednesday, December 16 to 7 a.m. on Friday, December 18. All parked cars must be removed from the roadways to allow plowing crews and public safety vehicles to safely access the roads and perform curb-to-curb cleanup. If your residence does not have a driveway, you are encouraged to connect with your landlord for parking options or coordinate with a neighbor who has extra driveway space.

Trash and recycling will not be picked up on Thursday, December 17. Collection will follow a holiday schedule and be delayed a day; a household with a Thursday pickup, for example, will have its refuse and recycling collected on Friday. Friday collection will move to Saturday.

The Town Hall building will be closed, but staff will still be working and available via phone and email. The Department of Public Works and Fire Department appreciate your assistance helping them clear catch basins and hydrants near your home.

Parking ban announcements and other emergency notifications are made via text, email, and phone through our CodeRED e-alert system. Not signed up? Create a managed account now.
