[Summit] Providence Parking BAN to be LIFTED at 6AM Tuesday, February 9 (Our 2016 Storm 3, bulletin 1)

[David Kolsky]

For most of yesterday's closings, I have to induce by elimination, but a glance at the Closings page at Channel 10’s  web site reveals far fewer than yesterday.

Check for closings, delays and parking bans at http://turnto10.com/weather/closings

Most notably for us, the Fox Point Senior Center is closed today with no Meals and Wheels. There are 2-hour school delays for public and several Catholic schools in both Cranston and Pawtucket, but nothing is listed for public or independent schools in Providence.

Also, I assume that with the parking ban lifted, Books on the Square (471 Angell at Elmgrove) will be open again, and thus permit the Waterman Street Dog Park Committee to hold its scheduled meeting there from 7 to 8 p.m. Tuesday. Last night’s public meeting of the Fox Point association’s board has been postponed until future notice.

Happy Mardi Gras and Carnival.Also a belated Happy Chinese New Year. (Gung hay fat choy; laissez les bon temps rouler. !)
