Our City of East Providence Highway Division was out refreshing the patriotic crosswalks throughout the city in preparation for Memorial Day.

I have also asked that they post the American flags along the parade route in Riverside and have asked that they refresh any of the banners.

This new sign was designed in house by Melissa Spurr, was printed in house with our sign printing machine by Dan Borges, installed and trimmed by Dave Laughlin on a backer board that was custom cut and donated by PolyCraft USA.

Our DPW will be making an effort to plow curb to curb but that is only possible with your help. Please make sure your car is moved off the street. We have made public parking lots available for you to park.

Parking ban goes into effect at 8pm tonight. The East Providence Police will be tagging and towing. The single digit temperatures expected to follow the snow storm will freeze anything left on the roads.
