Thanks you Cei. We tried to clear the empty spot on BVP at Upland, but 1/4 the way through the snow blower broke. The snow is so heavy. Jim would happily help dig the rest of it out by hand, but I think he needs some younger help!

When I've gone over to dig out the Honda periodically, I've tried to clear the space in front, too. Let me know if there's a blockade making this space unusable and I'll clear it out! (11 BVP).

request for the neighborhood
by Ruth Ryals 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

Neighbors, When we have a snow parking ban, and greatly reduced number of places on the street to park, please email your need or the availability of an off-street parking spot you aren¹t using to the list or to me. Perhaps we can help each other out via the list. Also, when you are digging your driveway/car/walk way out, e.g. BVP, try not to bury further an open space, which absent the extra several feet of shoveled snow would be accessible by a single person with a shovel! Thanks, Ruth

From: Rosemary <rantonucci(a)comcast.net> Date: Sunday, February 12, 2017 at 7:42 AM Subject: Buy Nothing Event At the Cambridge Community Center Feb 18 Hello Neighbors, I am a member of Buy Nothing Cambridge, a group that encourages 'sharing our stuff ' with our neighbors. I am hosting an event at next week's Cambridge Farmer Market. We had a very successful event last month and have another scheduled for March 18. We like to advertise this as a flea market but everything is free! We are fortunate to have a representative from the DPW's Recycling team at this event as well. I am trying to reach more neighbors than those who regularly attend the Farmers' Market and I am hoping you can help. I have already reached out to our City Councilors and I have attached a flyer for you to share. I hope to see you there! If you are on Facebook and not yet a member of our group, we invite you to join at https://www.facebook.com/groups/784012691611923/ Cheers, Rosemary Antonucci CPort Resident sine 1994
