From the City of Woburn: Emergency Parking Ban in Effect Until 6 p.m. Wednesday, January 22 Predictions of significant snowfall in the area have prompted the City of Woburn to issue an emergency parking ban—effective 6 p.m Tuesday, January 21, 2014 until 6 p.m. Wednesday, January 22, 2014—to allow City plow and sand crews to properly clean and treat city streets. That means no on-street parking, either side of the street, during this time period. Residents with questions about alternative parking options should call Woburn Police at 781-933-1212. Residents and businesses, who are able, are asked to help with the clearing of fire hydrants and drains covered and blocked by snow. Fire department personnel, as always, will be in locations around the City to uncover hydrants. However, they cannot reach all. Officials ask if you have a hydrant in your front yard or in front of your business—and are physically capable—to dig it out and around it so it can be accessed. Also, don’t forget that safe sidewalks benefit the entire community. The same request is asked of businesses and residents when it comes to sidewalks. Some helpful guidelines include efforts to make path wide enough for someone using a wheelchair, walker or stroller. Clear ramps at corners and sidewalks. Use ice melter, but not sand (sand gets into street drains and can be expensive to clean up). Consider helping neighbors who may have difficulty clearing their walk. Here’s a roundup of helpful information for residents: Woburn City Hall is open for regular business on Wednesday, January 22, 2014, from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Updates will be posted here. Waste Management is on a one-day delay holiday trash and recycling collection schedule this week. As of Tuesday afternoon, collections will continue as scheduled as conditions will allow, but some neighborhoods may experience delays. In terms of utility and cable services, Mayor Galvin and City officials have been asked to give residents the following information: NSTAR: Customers whose electric service may be affected should call 1-800-592-2000. More information can be found at nstar. Comcast: Residential customers with service affected by the storm should call 1-800-COMCAST (1-800-266-2278).
