With the huge amount of snowfall we have received during the last two weeks and are likely to continue receiving, and with Riley Plaza looking more like Ice Station Zebra than a parking lot, you may have had trouble finding off-street parking during the snow emergencies. Here is a list of possible alternative locations. It never hurts to have a plan "B".
The City of Salem offers the following locations as alternative off-street parking options for residents as snow clean-up gets underway. Please note that parking in school lots is only permitted during snow emergencies. Once the snow emergency is lifted, cars must be removed from school lots. Park and playground parking lots and the Salem Wharf lot may continue to be used for alternative parking. In addition, Salem has added some additional options (see below) and reminds folks about the existing lots that can be used for off street parking, as follows:
Church Street parking lot
Residents may park for free here overnight (6pm to 7am). After 7am, regular lot rates will apply.
Universal Steel parking lot (297 Bridge Street)
Residents may park here for free. There will be no charge to park in this lot, pending further snow clean-up efforts. There are approximately 120 spaces here.
Salem Willows parking lot
DPW is performing additional plowing in this lot. There are approximately 125 spaces here. Meters will not be in effect.
Forest River Park
Currently a designated snow emergency lot. Parking may continue in this lot until further notice. There are approximately 30 spaces here.
Gallows Hill Playground lower lot
Currently a designated snow emergency lot. Parking may continue in this lot until further notice. There are approximately 70 spaces here.
Mack Park upper and lower lots
Currently a designated snow emergency lot. Parking may continue in this lot until further notice. There are approximately 35 spaces here.
Castle Hill Playground

Good luck!
