Snow Emergency

[gib.livejournal.com]

I just received this from the Somerville's snow-alert mailing list:

Based on current weather projections, the City of Somerville will be declaring a snow emergency effective at 10 a.m. Thursday, December 13th. During snow emergencies, parking is allowed on the odd-numbered side of the street only (unless otherwise posted). Cars not moved by 2 p.m. today may be subject to ticketing and towing. Residents unable to find a parking space on the odd-numbered side of the street may park in any municipal lot or, after 3 p.m., in designated school parking lots. Afternoon and evening school activities in Somerville have been cancelled. For additional information, please call the city’s 311 constituent service line, which may also be reach outside the city by dialing 617-666-3311 – or visit the city’s website at www.ci.somerville.ma.us. Thank you.

This:

will fill you in on the detail, where you can park, and gives you links to sign up for the e-mail or phone calls. If you're signed up the city will tell you, or you can call in to find out.

Under the new blue light special plan, there are special blue lights at 22 intersections in Somerville, and they'll be on as long as there's a snow emergency.

Have you seen any of the blue lights working? The one in Davis Square was NOT on when I walked by around 11:15 this morning.

That's ridiculous. Once they install the lights and post signs explaining what they are, the city shouldn't be allowed to make people pay parking tickets or tow fees if the lights aren't working.
