“I am extending the snow emergency to 7 a.m. [Friday] morning to allow our Operations Department to finish clearing the roads. Vehicles will be allowed to remain in city garages until 10 p.m. [Friday] night,” said Martin. “The City of Stamford Operations Department has been working hard to ensure that city roads are clear and safe for driving. Residents are asked to continue to avoid being on the roads unless necessary until operations are complete. I also ask that residents keep safe while cleaning up, driving, or while outdoors enjoying the snow.”
