City Declares Emergency Parking Ban in Salem

An alert posted to the city's website says the ban starts at 10 p.m. and on-street parking will be prohibited for the duration of the ban, which will be in effect until further notice.
"Vehicles must be totally removed from city streets and sidewalks or your vehicle will be ticketed and towed," reads the notice.
