People have spent a lot of time digging out from all the snow that fell on Boston, where many residents leave space savers in their spots during the storm.
But Mayor Marty Walsh wants those space savers gone.
"At this point, when there hasn't been this much snow, I think everyone needs to chill out with the space saving," said Brian Marshall of South Boston.
Those cones, buckets and other household items claiming spots on the streets will soon be gone. Walsh has announced that the public works department will begin removing space savors starting Monday as part of regular neighborhood trash removal.
"I sort of understand the city's position, but on the other hand, you do put in a lot of work shoveling out your spot and to lose it - I don't think people are going to enjoy that," said Eric Dwinnells.
It's an announcement that has some people in South Boston sounding off. It's a neighborhood where residents say parking is always at a premium. Adding eight feet of snow to the equation has led to a parking battle ground.
"People have spent hours upon hours shoveling out their space after each storm, so I think extra consideration needs to be taken before these drastic measures take place next week," said Perry Dinatale.

While many understand the city's need to step in, others have their own ideas as to when these savers should be trashed.
"April 1, just like the no parking with street sweeping and the new one-way program they put in," said Tom McGrath. "I think it's fair."
"When the snow melts," said Dinatale. "A couple months from now. Take a look at it, there's still six, seven, eight-foot snow banks."
