What's the best "place holders" in the city?

Refridgerator. I knew a guy who used to put one out. You wouldnt want to mess with him. Storm of 78'

THIS IS THE BEST BREAKING NEWS I HAVE HEARD YET!

Nothing would make me happier than to see my inconsiderate neighbor who never shovels and never moves his car when he is supposed to have his place holder taken away,

This would be a great way of getting rid of things that we normally have to pay to throw out. Just put it in an empty parking space!

Good move by the city. It's been 10 days since the storm - that's too long to "claim" a space. In Boston they collect the space holders about 48 hours after a storm. I can understand wanting to preserve a space after shoveling it out but there needs to be a reasonable time limit. I have seen many people mark their territory until everything is melted and that is just wrong. I hope the city adopts this policy after every storm and does it sooner.

I just hope the city actually does it. They said they would tow the cars that didnt comply with the snow emergency during the blizzard and not one car on my street was plowed.

I do think a smarter approach, for the next storm, would be to:
1. If you declare a snow emergency, tow cars that are illegally parked, so plowing efforts can proceed effectively.
2. Plow on the sides of the street where parking is permitted, so there is no loss of parking spaces.
3. Then, enforce the non-space-saver rule. It won't be as big of an issue when there is not the dramatic loss of available that we saw after Nemo.

I meant to say, "dramatic loss of available parking"

Oh well I think the city need to clean up the snow from the street and side walks, they also need to apply these rules to them self

They cleaned my street today right to the bone. Thanx to the new Gas line thats going in.

well, i didn't put my spaceholder out today, and as I sit at work I'm just told that there is no place to park on my street. Other people on my street that apparently do not follow Malden Patch put theirs out, they did not get thrown away. so much for following the rules. but I'm not complaining, just making an observation. There are worse things in life than having to walk to your house from the next street over.

Are they getting picked up according to our respective pickup days?

Not one space holder was picked up in my neighborhood not surprising at all.

Dont throw those holders out!!! 8 to 12 inches heading our way 7 news

Folks No body likes shoveling snow and losing a parking spot. This is lIfe. 1st come 1st serve. Is'nt that the way it is. Things will change in Malden. We may not like it . We will get through it. Good Luck .
