Portland Public Services will be working around the clock to clear snow from
the 320 miles of City streets. We encourage people to say home and off the
streets during the height of the storm to facilitate these efforts.
Other reminders from Portland MEDCU and Fire Department:
- Please keep your front walkways clear in the event emergency personnel
need to get to your door. This also allows pedestrians and mail carriers
to walk safely in your neighborhood.
- The City also has over 2000 fire hydrants and could use your help in
shoveling them out. Fire personnel work to get to as many of these hydrants
as possible but your assistance with this effort will help keep you and
your neighbors safe in the event of a fire.
- Please check on your elderly neighbors during a storm who may need your
help.
- One last reminder: people can sign up on our web site to receive an e-mail
or page notification about a parking ban as well. Nearly 2000 subscribers
have done this to date.
Please also note that Portland Public Services does have a TTY line
available for the hearing impaired public:
