October Parking



















Well it's October again, and if you have lived at 24 Norman Street for more than a year, you will know what that means. It means lots of Halloween activities going on for the entire month, lots and lots of tourists, and a corresponding lack of available parking spaces.
Markwood would like to remind everyone that, tempting as it is, to not use the side lot for your own personal, long-term parking area. This is a constant issue throughout the year that gets much worse through the month of October and especially on Halloween, when we get upwards of 40,000 visitors to the city.
Occasionally it is not only residents of 24 Norman Street who abuse the side parking lot.
In the past we have had tourists who think it is a free, open parking lot for their convenience. Towing has been the usual deterrent, but since the streets are so crowded, and the towing company is so busy, that remedy may not be an effective deterrent. For this reason Markwood will be chaining off the parking area for the Halloween weekend. We will keep you posted on the details of when this is happening. If you have any questions please contact Markwood Management at 781-639-4080.

  1. Where do residents park when the Plaza is full in October.
