Street cleaning suspended & meter enforcement resumes

Street cleaning will remain suspended until further notice, so City staff can continue to prioritize snow removal at curb ramps, crosswalks, and bus stops particularly near schools and senior buildings.

Meter enforcement will resume on Wednesday, Jan. 28.

The City will continue to enforce safety-related parking regulations, including illegal parking, blocking crosswalks, and double parking. Loading zone regulations will also be enforced to ensure businesses and residents can continue to receive deliveries. Bus stops will also be enforced.

Office of Vital Statistics closed until Thursday; Senior programming cancelled

Senior programming will be cancelled until further notice due to a failing HVAC system at the Multi-Service Center. The City's Office of Vital Statistics will reopen on Thursday. The City's Rent Control Office and Office of Senior Services will be remote until further notice.

Clear sidewalks, curb ramps, and hydrants

City public works crews and contractors continue to remove snow on public properties. Property owners who have not cleared snow and ice from the sidewalks, curb cuts, and curb ramps adjacent to their property are subject to fines between $250 and $2,000.

Those who wish to report an unshoveled or untreated property, can email [email protected].
