FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Large-scale Snow Removal Scheduled Throughout the City of Kingston
(Kingston, N.Y.) At the request of Mayor Steve Noble and with the support of County Executive Mike Hein and Ulster County Emergency Management, Governor Andrew Cuomo has approved the New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) to assist in a large-scale snow removal effort throughout the City of Kingston, beginning at 9:00am on Monday, March 20th. The priority areas will be the residential neighborhoods of Kingston, beginning with Midtown.
Snow removal will take place continuously, 24 hours per day, as needed. In the interest of ensuring the safety of all individuals and in an effort to expedite the snow removal process, Mayor Noble has requested that vehicles be moved off of residential streets in Midtown. It is expected that the Midtown residential areas on both sides of Broadway will be cleared by Monday evening. Road closures will be in effect on a block by block basis as snow removal is underway. Once a street has been cleared of snow, vehicles may return. Due to the large equipment being used by DOT, streets in which vehicles remain parked cannot be fully serviced.
Alternative parking in Midtown may be found at the following locations: Sea Deli lot, Everette Hodge Community Center, Cornell Street lot, Prince Street lot, the AME Zion Church at Franklin Street lot, the lot next to Arace, and Broadway Commons (Former Kings Inn Lot).
Additional residential areas of Kingston scheduled for snow removal on Tuesday will be announced on Monday afternoon, after an assessment by NYS DOT and the Department of Public Works. While information will continue to be sent to local media, residents are also encouraged to visit www.kingston-ny.gov for information, as updates may become available multiple times per day.
