For years and years people have continued to complain there is no place to park in the seaport town of Marblehead, MA. We did some research by looking up the number of parking tickets issued between 2010 - 2022 and discovered some interesting data. What very well could influence the data is the town had previously issued no street parking during the winter due to the snowplows would have trouble plowing if the streets were lined with parked cars. It has been modified to only be an offense when the weather forecast calls out a snow storm. Not sure when the ruling was changed. However, the data clearly shows a major decline, which translates to a loss of revenue for the town. We don’t know what the penalty is per parking ticket.
