Students are moving in around Boston. Here’s where parking restrictions are in effect. - The Boston Globe (2024)

We’re in the midst of move-in week, when college students from near and far descend upon Boston with their belongings in tow, lugging their IKEA furniture up flights of stairs as they attempt to settle into dorms and apartments before classes start.

In order to accommodate the students moving into (and out of) the city, Boston officials announced temporary parking restrictions will be in place on certain streets in Allston, Fenway, Mission Hill, and Roxbury, many through Monday, Sept. 2.

“Students bring so much life to our City, and we are thrilled to welcome them this week,” Mayor Michelle Wu said in a statement Thursday.

City officials are encouraging people to pay attention to signs posted in neighborhoods where parking restrictions will be in effect. To see what neighborhoods and which streets are impacted, check out the list below.
