Grove Street Project Update
D'Allessandro Corp has received the contract. We anticipate construction to begin before the end of the calendar year. Construction completion is September 30, 2015.
Due to large quantities of leaves on the streets, poor weather conditions, and a number of mechanical problems with the contractor’s equipment, the City has suspended the Fall Street Sweeping Program. Regular sweeping operations will resume in the Spring, as usual. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience with this situation. If you have any questions or problems with a specific location, please contact the Department of Public Services at 978-744-3302.
Snow Shoveling Programs
Seniors/Disabled/Infirmed Residents: Salem residents who are 60 years of age or older, infirmed or disabled, who are looking for snow shoveling assistance can contact Sandy George at the Salem Council on Aging at 978-744-0924 or sgeorge@salem.com to be connected with available snow shovelers in their neighborhood. Through this program, residents will be provided with a list of available shovelers, be required to sign a waiver of liability, and have to negotiate payment with the shoveler on their own terms.
Salem Residents (younger than 60 y/o): Salem residents under the age of 60 who are looking for snow shoveling assistance can contact Ellen Talkowsky in the Salem Engineering Department at 978-619-5676 or etalkowsky@salem.com – snow@salem.com will also be activated later this winter for these requests upon our first snow emergency. Through this program, residents will be simply be provided with a list of available snow shovelers in their neighborhood.
City of Salem Shovel Brigade: Residents who are interested in applying for a job with the City’s Shovel Brigade can contact the Salem Department of Public Services at 978-744-3302. This brigade was established by the Mayor last winter to be deployed in high-volume pedestrian areas to help better clear public sidewalks and crosswalks in an effort to enhance pedestrian safety during the winter season. Any applicants will be required to go through the standard employee hiring process with the City’s Human Resources Department.
