Sidewalks update
After many complaints from parents across the city regarding poor cleanup of December’s snow storms, the following update on clearing Lowell’s sidewalks was provided by Jay Lang, assistant superintendent for school finance and operations: The school department is in communication with the city’s health department and has requested that they investigate, enforce, and issue citations to residents who have not cleared the sidewalks in front of homes leading to and from the city schools. The school district will also continue to work with the department of public works to clear the access ways to and from schools, the parking lots and sidewalks in the proximity of schools, and to salt and sand these areas as needed throughout the winter. With some recent warmer weather during vacation week, custodial staff was able to more thoroughly clear away ice and snow banks at the schools.
