Councilor’s Message
Hi Neighbors,
I'm sending this "Quick Note" to share important information about this weekend’s storm. The official City of Quincy update is in the section below.
For the past several days, I’ve been checking in on all parts of the Ward and reporting snow removal issues to the DPW team. Thank you to the DPW team, who are working incredibly hard to dig us out, and thank you to all the residents who have been reporting snow challenges as well.
The priority for snow removal continues to be the designated pedestrian paths around schools, essential services, and the business districts. Much of this work is occurring in the evening because the snow needs to be hauled away, which requires road closures. If you have questions about any pedestrian path, please let me know, as I’ve grown quite familiar with them at this point.
While I am committed to keeping you informed, my notices may not always contain the most up-to-date information for storms and other emergencies. For this reason, I strongly encourage residents to also sign up for the Alert Quincy Emergency Notification System. The city employs a multi-modal communication system and is staffed for emergency purposes to keep residents informed and safe.
Please note that when signing up, the system asks for a home phone number. If you do not have a home phone landline, just enter your mobile number instead. Please contact me if you have any issues subscribing to the emergency notification system.
I also recommend following the City of Quincy’s social media accounts on Facebook and Instagram.
Sincerely,
Walter Hubley
City Councilor, Ward 3
Quincy City Council
From the City of Quincy Emergency Management Team
The forecast for a powerful storm continues to show it moving eastward out to sea, but there is still potential for coastal areas to see impacts from Sunday morning through Monday. Residents in flood-prone coastal areas should take the appropriate precautions. All City of Quincy storm operations are in place. Residents who experience flooding can call the DPW 24-hour hotline at 617-376-1910 or the Department of Emergency Management at 617-376-1105.
The conditions for this storm – including wind direction and ice covering portions of Quincy – appear similar to a storm in January of 2018, which caused flooding to the Rhoda Street/Rockland Street areas of Houghs Neck. Residents should plan accordingly. For more information, www.quincyma.gov
