Philly to fine pedestrians for texting while walking

Cnet.com is reporting on Philadelphia’s program known as “Give Respect, Get Respect” which is geared to crack down on all sorts of “bad behavior” on and off the road, from pedestrians who talk and text while they cross the road to bicyclists who ride on the sidewalk. The program, launched in May  has mostly doled out warnings to roadside offenders, but is set to kick into high gear in August by issuing more tickets to those who violate the rules. Pedestrians, bikers, and motorists caught under the expanded enforcement will be fined $120.

Churchill has short-term apartment rentals nationwide. Please call us at 866-255-0593 for more info.

100s Evacuated from Boston Apartment Building

Thousands of people were forced from their homes and out into the cold on Monday night in downtown Boston due to a water pipe burst inside the Archstone apartment building.  Firefighters say an elbow joint in a water main connected to the sprinkler system ruptured, sending thousands of gallons into the building. “Every city and town in the commonwealth has a problem right now going from extreme cold to heat, back to cold back to heat and what it’s doing is it’s causing expansion in the pipes,” said Captain Philip Boisbert of the Reading Fire Department. The fire department said the water flowing at the Archstone apartment building stopped flowing before 3 AM Tuesday morning. Crews continue to search for any electrical damage. There is no word on when residents will be let back in.

Churchill is working diligently with building management to resolve the issue. Any Churchill guests in the area can contact us at 617-532-5867 x5224 for information and updates.

The Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce has issued an weather alert urging the business community about the importance of clearing your sidewalk drains and rooftop scuppers.

Full alert:

As the snow that started early this morning begins to switch to sleet in the Providence area, EMA officials are asking the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce to spread the word to the business community about the importance of clearing your sidewalk drains and rooftop scuppers. Flat roofs are particularly vulnerable to the heavy, slushy mess as the wet snow turns to rain later today.

So, get rid of the build up before it becomes a real danger to your people and your property. Motorists and pedestrians should use extra caution and expect irregular conditions on roads and sidewalks.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory until 3 p.m. today.
