Emergency Lots
If you are required to move your vehicle, you can park in one of the City's designated emergency parking lots located around the City for the duration of the snow emergency. If you decide to make use of one of these lots, you must monitor our 311 line to find out when you are required to remove your vehicle.
The City of Malden requires residents and businesses remove snow from the sidewalks abutting their property. Failure to comply with this ordinance could result in a fine issued by the City. Please familiarize yourself with he rules and try to encourage your neighbors to do the same. If you have trouble removing the snow yourself, we have provided a list of snow removal contractors that you can hire to remove the snow for you.
