Parking enforcement during street sweeping was stopped back on March 13 as COVID-19 cases began to ramp up in Massachusetts, according to the transportation department’s website.
“As we continue to support a cautious and phased approach to reopening Boston, we are asking residents to move their vehicles during designated street sweeping hours to allow our Public Works crews to thoroughly clean our neighborhood streets,” Chris Osgood, city chief of streets, told Boston 25.
