Somerville is the densest municipality in New England, about 19,650 people per square mile, built mostly in a boom through the 1940s. Streets are tight and homes close together, so drives are short and shared, and nearly every car competes for street space.
Parking during storms
During a snow emergency, park only on the even-numbered side of the street this winter (2026/27), unless signs say otherwise. You have four hours after the emergency is declared to move. Fines are $100 for the wrong side, a tow zone or plow obstruction, within 10 feet of a hydrant, or within 20 feet of an intersection. Towing is $132 plus $35 a day storage.
Sidewalks
Owners must clear sidewalks and ramps next to their property within six daylight hours after snow stops, to at least 36 inches wide, any time it snows. Fines for one- to three-unit houses are $100, $200 and then $300; for commercial or larger buildings $150 then $300.
