Snow emergency, move cars to EVEN side by 2 pm Saturday (Somerville)

Hello, this is [Somerville] Mayor Joe Curtatone with important snow emergency information for Saturday, January 7.

Based on current weather forecasts, the City is declaring a snow emergency to go into effect at 10 a.m. on Saturday morning, January 7th. Beginning at 10 a.m., cars will have 4 hours to move to the EVEN side of the street (unless signage on your streets says otherwise), or into a municipal or school parking lot. Again, as a reminder, this is the first winter season where cars must park on the EVEN SIDE of the street (unless otherwise posted). Ticketing and towing will begin at approximately 2 p.m. on Saturday for cars who are not moved to the correct side of the street. Please review posted signage on your street in advance. For more information, please visit http://somervillema.gov/snow or contact 311.

At this time, all recreation and school programming planned for Saturday will continue as planned, and all three branches of the library will remain open. Trash pickup scheduled for Saturday due to this week’s holiday delay will continue as normal.

Thank you as always for your cooperation and patience during this winter season.

Yah, we had someone up a ways who didn't hear either. But it didn't affect us. As far as I know they didn't tow.

Interesting side-note on the call though: I've been on the city's message system for however long we've had it now. My upstairs housemate got both calls--the evening before, and the day of. I didn't get either. I told 311, and they opened a ticket for me. Not sure what happened.

They towed a couple of cars on Chandler/Chapel at 10.30pm on Saturday evening, having ticketed earlier in the day.
