A Correction & Lots of Other Info

Another “oops” on my part, Folks.  The senior discount for monthly parking passes starts at age 62, not 60.  Sorry about that!

Both the Board meeting and the LDNA meeting tonight have been cancelled for obvious reasons.  But LDNA has sent me a bunch of interesting links and info worth sharing (it’s easy to get on their e-mail list via the LDNA link above).

Emergency Shelters:  The Lowell, Massachusetts Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will be activated at 6:00PM tonight. Any non-emergency storm related questions should be directed to 978-674-4052.

National Grid # 1-800-465-1212 or 1-800-322-3223

Per Gov. Baker, there is a statewide travel ban beginning at midnight tonight.

Please follow the Lowell Police Department (Official) Facebook page for more information.

All garages will be available as a destination for this snow emergency parking ban. The information has been posted on the City website and has been “tweeted” on the Parking Department twitter account.

Notes from COOL that were to be shared at tonight’s cancelled Downtown Neighborhood meeting can be seen here. They include a number of upcoming downtown events.

At 5:00 on February 10, 2015 the City Council’s Economic Development Subcommittee will meet to discuss enforcing the currently posted parking meter hours (that is, until 6:00 each weekday and on Saturdays). They will also discuss the possibility of banning overnight parking at metered spaces. Part of this discussion may be related to reducing the cost of the garages on weekends and evenings or resident guest passes.  A survey on the subject can be found here.

Stay safe and warm, everyone!   And let’s hope the electricity stays on!
