Randolph Declares Winter Storm Parking Ban

RANDOLPH — Chief William Pace reports that the Randolph Police Department has issued a parking ban effective from Thursday, Feb. 9 from 12:01 a.m. until Friday, Feb. 10 at 6 a.m.

Tomorrow’s storm is expected to bring more than a foot of snow to parts of the region. All residents are asked to limit their travel to allow state and local crews to clear the roads of snow.

Any vehicle parked on a public street between the hours of 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 9 and 6 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 10 are subject to a ticket, tow or both.

“Please move your cars and salt your driveways and sidewalks,” Chief Pace said. “Crews will be working overtime to clear our roads, so please don’t crowd the plows.”

Chief Pace and the Randolph Police Department offer the following safety tips for residents during and after the snow falls:

  • When shoveling snow or walking outside for more than a few minutes, dress appropriately, with exposed skin covered, and wear a hat and gloves.
  • Ensure that your home or business sidewalks are properly shoveled, and place salt or ice melt to prevent people from falling.
  • Help out the Randolph Fire Department by shoveling out your nearest fire hydrant.
  • ALWAYS clear the tailpipe of a vehicle that is buried in snow BEFORE you start or warm up the vehicle. Failure to do so can be fatal for those inside the vehicle.
  • Keep stocks of batteries on hand for radios and flashlights in case of a power outage.
  • Never use your oven as a heat source
  • Do not use space heaters while sleeping.
  • Keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from bedding or combustible materials.

For emergencies, dial 911 or contact the Randolph Police Department at 781-963-1212.

Arlington Declares Snow Emergency

⋅ City/Town News, Client News ⋅ , , , ⋅ 0 Comments

ARLINGTON — Saturday January 7 starting at 5 p.m. for side roads and 9 p.m. for Massachusetts Avenue, Broadway and Medford Street. The ban will be lifted on Sunday, January 8 at 8 a.m. Note: parking WILL BE allowed in municipal lots at all times.

During the Winter Snow & Ice Season, the Town would like to remind residents to exercise caution when traveling. After a storm, residents and businesses are reminded to keep public walkways clear in accordance with Town bylaws.

Parked Cars in Roadway
Cars parked in roadways during snow removal operations can impede removal progress. Residents are encouraged to park their vehicles off-street during these events so Public Works can complete the task more efficiently and with better results.

Town Bylaws Regarding Snow & Ice Removal
The bylaws require residents and businesses to remove snow and ice from any sidewalks abutting their property following a storm. Residents should remove snow and ice from abutting paved sidewalks within eight hours between sunrise and sunset after a storm, businesses and owners of any residential property utilized for apartment house or multi unit condominium use that abuts a paved sidewalk have three hours. Please don’t forget to cut a path to the street if you live on a corner. It is also prohibited to move snow into the roadway. Failure to comply with these bylaws can result in a fine of $25 to $50 per day.

Adopt a Fire Hydrant
The Arlington Fire Department asks residents and business owners to adopt a fire hydrant in their neighborhood. When it snows, take the time to shovel around it as well as to it. A clear hydrant expedites their deployment in the event of an emergency.

Secure Trash & Recycling at Curb
Trash, recycling, and yard waste containers should be on the curb and secured in a manner to prevent them from going into the roadway and impeding snow removal operations. Bylaws require that waste be placed for collection at the curb no earlier than 6:00 p.m. the evening before scheduled collection. Items buried in snow will not be collected and if left out on the curb after your collection day may be subject to a fine. Storm conditions may require some extra planning on when to bring out your items. Please plan accordingly.

Other ways to help include: clearing any catch basins near your property and assisting neighbors who may need extra help with snow removal. The LINKS program serves many seniors in Town, but cannot serve them all.

Important Phone Numbers
Residents are reminded of the following important phone numbers and recommend you print, or otherwise make available offline should you lose power:

– Report downed electrical wires: call 911 and Eversource at 1-800-592-2000.
– Report a power outage to Eversource at 1-800-592-2000 or at eversource.com.
– Report a downed street tree or limb to DPW dispatch at 781-316-3301.

Be Alerted of Snow Emergencies/Parking Bans
When a snow emergency/parking ban it put into place, the Town will send a notification via Arlington Alerts (phone, text, and email), Town Notices (regular email list), on its social media channels (Facebook and Twitter), and the Town’s website. If you are not subscribed to these services you can do so in the Communications Center at arlingtonma.gov/subscriber.

School closing notifications are posted at http://www.arlington.k12.ma.us/home/

The Town of Arlington is dependent on the cooperation of all residents and business owners to keep our public ways safe during the winter season. For more information on snow and ice operations including links to these bylaws, tips to keep safe this winter, and frequently asked questions, please visit the Snow & Ice Information page at arlingtonma.gov/snow.
