City officials warned that conditions could be hazardous for the Monday morning commute, and advised commuters to take mass transit instead of driving if possible.
“The critical time of the snowfall is on the overnight,” said Emergency Management Commissioner Joseph Esposito. “But I think our most critical time will be tomorrow’s rush hour..that’s why we’re urging people stay off the roads.”
The city sanitation department says it has over 1,600 plows and nearly 700 salt spreaders ready for the storm.
Alternate side parking regulations have been suspended for Monday and Tuesday to facilitate snow removal.
