Cable Replacement update
FYI
From the Cable Replacement Team.
Via Robert K McCarthy
Councillor Ward One
Dear Neighbors --
Thanks again for following our newsletter updates. Here's
the latest update on our work.
We're happy to report that duct bank installation on
Cypress Street is complete. Contractors finished their work one week ahead of
schedule, marking the completion of all underground duct bank construction for
the Salem Cable Project. The remaining work in this area will primarily take
place inside the Canal Street Station.
With the new transmission cables installed between Salem
Harbor Station and the manholes on Fort Avenue, contractors are expected to
being installing cable to connect the manhole locations on Hawthorne Boulevard,
and Washington Square South. Please note that this work will take place from
the Hawthorne Boulevard work site manholes, and is projected to last for
approximately one week (weather depending).
As you may have noticed, cable installation is ongoing
near the Washington Square South manholes. Contractors paused their work this
week to accommodate a funeral service at O'Donnell's. As such, contractors may
need to expand their timeline into next week at this location to make up for
the time gap.
Please note that moving forward, most work will be
focused on installing and splicing new cables, installing equipment in manhole,
and finishing any remaining work inside the Canal Street Station.
As always, police details will be present to facilitate
vehicle and pedestrian traffic management around construction sites. We ask
that those on foot exercise caution when approaching these active work areas to
minimize risks to personal safety, and to avoid any interference with
construction.
We will continue to keep you updated with information
from all of our work sites as it becomes available. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact a member of our outreach team. Our toll-free
hotline is available for your calls (844-SALEM-CABLE). You can also reach us
through the Contact Us page on our website.
Sincerely,
The Salem Cable Project

Salem Publishes 2016 Snow Brochure
Salem Publishes 2016 Snow Brochure
New this year is the creation of a Downtown Snow Emergency District. “The City realizes that businesses and restaurants continue to operate during snow fall,” said Mayor Kim Driscoll, “This district will allow patrons to park on these designated downtown streets for a longer period of time.”
When the City declares a snow emergency for its main arteries and neighborhoods, it will not go into effect in the newly created Downtown Snow Emergency District until midnight (12:00 a.m.). For example, if a snow emergency is declared to become effective at 8:00 p.m. on any given day, it will not go into effect until midnight that evening in the downtown area defined below. However, starting at midnight (12:00 a.m.) on the night the snow emergency is declared, it shall be unlawful for any vehicle to be parked on streets in this district. Any vehicles parked on streets in this district after midnight will be ticketed and towed. The streets included in this district are as follows:
Streets in Downtown Snow Emergency District:
Washington Street; Federal Street (from North Street to St. Peter Street); Essex Street (from North Street to Hawthorne Boulevard); Lynde Street; Norman Street; Church Street; Central Street (Essex Street to Derby Street); New Derby Street; Derby Street (Lafayette Street to Orange Street); and Hawthorne Boulevard.
The Downtown Snow Emergency District will be in effect unless otherwise noted due to too severe or extreme snowfall. Please be aware that snow plowing will still take place in this district during the entire snow event.
Residents who park in a snow emergency parking lot during a snow emergency must remove their vehicles at the conclusion of the snow emergency or they will be towed at the owner’s expense. It is especially important to remove vehicles parked in public school lots at the end of the snow emergency.
Residents and businesses are encouraged to sign up for automated phone messages and emails generated by the City’s CodeRED system and also for City Alerts and City News and Announcements generated from the salem.com website to promptly receive snow emergency information throughout the winter months. The City recommends you register for both Code Red Messages and City E-Mail Alerts at http://www.salem.com/subscribe.
The City of Salem’s 2016 Snow Emergency Brochure can be found on the www.salem.com website on the Public Works Department home page (http://www.salem.com/public-works). Those without internet access may contact the Department of Public Services at 978-744-3302 and a brochure will be mailed to them.
