Dear friends:
Due to the likelihood of severe weather this evening, the ward meeting that was to have been held at Maritime Gloucester concerning the proposal to erect a sculpture by the renowned artist David Black at Solomon Jacobs Park has been CANCELLED.
Councilor Melissa Cox and I will work with the Committee for the Arts to reschedule the meeting soon. We will let you know when a date has been set.
While we’re on the topic, here are some things to think about as we prepare for the storm:
- Pay attention to the city website for updates on things like parking bans and school closures. While you’re at it, you may register for the city’s “Code Red” telephone call alert system at this web location: http://www.gloucester-ma.gov/index.aspx?nid=384
- In particular check before you put out your trash and recycling tonight. Pickup may be problematic or cancelled entirely tomorrow.
- Stay off the Back Shore and the beaches. Everyone is awed by the power of the sea, but this is a dangerous storm. We don’t need our emergency responders taxed by having to rescue those who stray too close to danger.
- Check on neighbors who are elderly or infirm. If you can help them prepare for the storm or during the storm, I’m sure they will appreciate it.
The city will make every effort to keep you updated as events warrant. Stay off the roads and in your homes and most of all, BE SAFE.
Good Morning Gloucester
