Newton's overnight parking ban is outdated, unnecessary, and exclusionary. It presents a huge burden to households with more than one working person, multigenerational households, disabled and/or elderly people, and generally people of lesser means. Leaders of Newton's Public Works, Fire, and Police Departments have stated that the ban is unnecessary, and we proved it during when the ban was suspended in 2020 and 2021.
