Based on community and neighbor input, the city of Providence is rolling out "version 2.0" of their snow parking pilot program this winter. They will be testing out a variation of last year's pilot and expanding it into a few other neighborhoods. Originally conceived by neighbors and supported by the Department of Public Works, Councilor Rachel Miller and the WBNA, this project is meant to offer residents with overnight parking permits, the ability to leave their cars on certain city streets during emergency snow bans.
For residents within the WBNA focus area parking will be allowed around the perimeter of Dexter Training Ground Park (on the park side but EXCLUDING Cranston St.) around Conlan Jr. Memorial Park.(behind firehouse on Union Ave.) and on Messer, Sycamore, Chapin, and Linwood.

A community meeting with Liza Farr, Curbside Administrator with the City of Providence, is being planned.
