I thought I had read something about this before and just went on the city's website to confirm. Just hope none of you get boned from this....

Street Sweeping & Street Sweeping Parking Enforcement Extended Through December 31, 2006

The street sweeping parking enforcement season, which begins on April 1, has been extended through December 31 this year. Street sweeping is an essential public works activity that not only keeps the city looking cleaner, but reduces the risk of flooding and icing due to catch-basin clogging and storm drain back-up. In past years, the period of street sweeping parking enforcement ended on November 30th, but trends toward warmer weather have enabled the city to extend the period of enforcement through December 31st.

Streets will not be swept in December unless weather conditions permit. If the city declares a Snow Emergency during December, Snow Emergency parking regulations will take precedence, and sweeping will be temporarily suspended.

During the months of January, February, March, the city may sweep the streets if conditions permit, but street sweeping parking regulations are not enforced during these winter months.

If you have questions about this change, or need additional information, please call 311, or e-mail 311Updates@ci.somerville.ma.us

A juried crafts fair this weekend at the Somerville Museum (on Central just two blocks off Highland Ave.)

Saturday and Sunday, 11am-5pm.

Yes, this is the weekend of the crafts fairs, from Brickbottom to the Nave. And the Somerville Museum is between the two.

Please drop by and say hi to me--I do the fused glass tableware.
