>From the Mayor's Chief of Staff--Update on Storm Clean Up as of 4:27pm:
I’m writing with operational updates as we continue recovery from this week’s historic blizzard.
The citywide parking ban will be lifted at 5:00PM on Saturday, February 28. Any streets or segments with upcoming heavy snow removal operations will remain closed to parking and clearly marked with “no-posting” signage which will state that parking is prohibited.  Those restrictions will stay in place where crews and specialized equipment are still actively working.
As a reminder, per city ordinance, property owners are responsible for clearing sidewalks adjacent to their property to ensure safe pedestrian access. The City is working with Groundwork RI to launch the Providence Snow Corps, which will coordinate volunteer snow removal for aging, disabled and medically limited neighbors who are physically unable to clear their private steps and walkways. This program is intended to provide targeted support while DPW remains focused on public roadway operations.   
   - Residents in need of assistance can complete the Request for Assistance Form, available in English and Spanish. Assistance is dependent on volunteer and partner availability and cannot be guaranteed. Residents experiencing a medical emergency or who cannot safely remain in their home should call 911.
   - Individuals and organizations interested in volunteering can complete the Volunteer Form, also available in English and Spanish. Groundwork RI will coordinate matches and volunteers will communicate directly with residents.
We are also asking residents to wait until the evening before their scheduled trash pickup to place bins at the curb. Bins left out in advance are impeding plow and widening operations, particularly on secondary and residential streets where space remains limited.
DPW will continue roadway snow removal operations in the days ahead. PVD311 will operate extended hours on Saturday, February 28, from 9:00AM to 12:00PM. For non-emergency matters, including locating a towed vehicle or reporting an abandoned vehicle ahead of the parking ban lift, residents may call 401-272-3121. As always, emergencies should be directed to 911.
