| Had been removed during reconstruction
Director
of Traffic and Parking James Kotzuba this week announced that the city
reinstalled 55 parking meters on Somerville Avenue in Union Square. The
meters had been removed during the most recent phase of the Somerville
Avenue reconstruction project in Union Square. The meters, running from
Market Basket into Union Square along Somerville Avenue, are
operational from 8 a.m.to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday.
"The City
is working to get the word out to residents, businesses and visitors to
the Union Square area that the meters will be reinstalled next Monday
and that Traffic and Parking enforcement will be present," said
Kotzuba. "Union Square is a thriving business community and enforcement
is necessary to ensure that visitors to the square have access to
short-term parking."
The state-funded Somerville Avenue project
is more than 75 percent complete and six months ahead of schedule.
Major construction has been suspended during the winter months and will
continue in spring 2009. The project is expected to be substantially
complete in late 2009.
