February 13, 2012:
It appears that no significant snow is on the horizon. In fact, we may get some warm weather and (later) rain. What a strange year!
Please contact me when you know you can't clear a stop. I'll try to get a substitute to fill in.
Sand is available at these locations. (The sand box locations are better, and easier to access safely.) Unfortunately, that link now brings up a link to a PDF that's confusing, doesn't clearly separate sand barrels from sand boxes, and doesn't indicate which locations would be preferred. Hopefully all that will be corrected shortly. Note: One location is at the Deering Oaks Parking lot off of State St extension. Additionally, a small box is located at the Cummings Center/Munjoy Hill Fire Station.
If you're shoveling under conditions of limited visibility, wear a safety vest or at least light colored clothing.
Thanks to all volunteers for what you've done.
In case you haven't seen it, here's our wonderful Christmas present:
This is a shelter newly installed at the stop opposite Maine Medical's Brighton "campus." Many thanks to Portland Metro, PACTS and Portlands DPS. A substantial trash container has since been added, and I have started cleaning up the "glass".
I plan to feature ALL recently placed shelters on a separate web page, unless I get brave and create a slide show on this page.
