The following statement was issued by the City of Melrose:

“As stated before, we are planning a mega snow haul out of our business districts, including downtown, upper Main Street, Melrose Highlands, upper Franklin Street, Wyoming Square, Cedar Park. This will be a night operation beginning at 8 p.m. Friday, February 20, and running to 10 a.m. Saturday. It will include several pieces of large equipment in addition to in-house DPW staff.

“This operation will not affect the downtown restaurants. I encourage you to go out to dinner on Friday and operate as you normally would. We will not begin removal in those areas until after 11 p.m., when the restaurants close. Parking lots are included in this haul, and they will be accessible on Friday night.

“This operation is noisy and must be completed in one night due to high costs, the availability of outside contractors, traffic impact, and public safety.

Thank you for your cooperation!”
