It's nice to see the sun today, but there is a lot of snow to dig out from, and we will continue to work around the clock to widen streets, clear around schools, and begin with full-scale sidewalk clearing in our main corridors. The vast majority of this work is done by our own DPW team and equipment.
We are looking forward to welcoming students back to schools tomorrow, Wednesday, for regularly scheduled classes. We are asking for our entire community to be extra careful navigating streets and sidewalks as you get back to school and work tomorrow. There are significant snow banks throughout Town and unplowed sidewalks that will make travel challenging. Please use your best discretion to get your kids to school – this may mean driving your students to school or escorting them to bus stops. Concerns for unplowed sidewalks and crosswalks can be communicated through the Mayor’s Office or the DPW Snow Hotline 781-794-8965. If you are able to help in our sidewalk clearing effort, every little bit helps – I want to thank residents who have already cleared the sidewalk in front of their homes.
Please bear with us as we continue to dig out – DPW crews have been working around the clock and will be working throughout the evening to continue plowing and snow removal operations, especially around our schools. The sun, coupled with road treatment, is helping to get many roadways back to pavement, but many roads still need widening effort and we apologize in advance for secondary clearing that will be required as roads are widened and equipment clearing sidewalks impact private properties.
The Parking Ban will continue through Wednesday afternoon and be lifted at noon on Wednesday. Thank you so much for your cooperation during this storm.
As a reminder:
This was a historic Blizzard delivering 20”+ of snow! Thanks to BELD, we are not managing power outages like our neighboring communities, and we are ready to get back to normal business.
For continued snow removal operations:
🛣️ Roads are our first priority, followed by sidewalks.
🚜 Main roads are cleared by Town DPW crews.
🔄 Secondary roads are cleared by contractors, with DPW providing backup where needed and DPW widening after the storm has ended.
📍Contractor routes are GPS-tracked so we can monitor progress and coverage.
Issues on your street? Call 781-794-8965.
Thank you for your patience as crews continue to work through the aftermath of the storm.
