A Few Marathon Monday Notes

Monday, April 15 is the 117^th annual Boston Marathon. As it states on the official website, the Boston Marathon is the world's oldest annual marathon and ranks as one of the world's most prestigious road racing events.

Be Prepared:

There are a few points to consider, seeing as how the town will be split down Beacon Street. “People should run errands and do their grocery shopping on Saturday and Sunday,” Lt. Phil Harrington said. “Pedestrians and cars won’t be able to get across Beacon Street.”

The Brookline Police, Fire Department and emergency responders will be positioned on both sides of Beacon Street.

TRASH DELAYED 1 DAY FOR THE PATRIOT'S DAY HOLIDAY:

The Department of Public Works put out this statement: Refuse collection will be interrupted for President's Day. Residents with Monday through Friday collection days during the week of April 15th-20th shall place their refuse out one (1) day later than their usual collection day. This includes residents whose collection day is Friday, putting refuse out for Saturday pick up. Thank you.

Parking Ban

A Parking Ban will go into effect for Beacon Street (East Bound). Check for the signs that will be posted by Sunday evening. Cars will be towed from Beacon Street starting at 8:00 a.m.. Once Beacon street closes, it stays closed from Cleveland Circle to Kenmore Square. Cars can’t get through and pedestrians will have no crossing places.
