Work in preparation for the UV pilot program is ongoing and will continue the week of May 12th and May 19th.

The following work is planned:

• The pumps and piping will be installed and connected the week of May 12th within designated staging areas.
• Jersey barriers and secure fencing will be fully installed after the pumps and piping are completed. The barriers and fencing will remain in place for the duration of the pilot.
• Electrical equipment and connections will be installed within the fenced staging areas.
• The generator will be delivered and connected the week of May 19th.
• The UV system will be delivered to the site on May 20th and a crane will be on site to set the UV system within the designated enclosure. Once in place, the plumbing and electrical connections will be made with startup and testing the remainder of the week. 

Please note that the commencement of the pilot operation is aimed for Saturday, May 24th (Memorial Day Weekend).

During all times that contractors are working in the roadway, police detailing will be requested and traffic control signage will be employed to minimize disruption to traffic throughout the area. At various times, temporary detours will be required to facilitate the work. All construction activity will occur between the hours of 9:00am and 4:00pm.

The upcoming pilot program will necessitate a lane closure on Humphrey Street and will also affect Eastern Avenue and Ocean Avenue. In response to inquiries from direct abutters, we are implementing temporary and partial resident parking on Eastern Avenue (addresses 1-37) for the duration of the pilot, which will be from approximately May to late August.

Residents must register for a temporary resident parking permit by visiting Lynn.ThePermitPortal.com.

The City of Lynn has a street specific resident parking system. The vehicle is required to be registered to the address in order to receive the resident parking permit. Two (2) visitor passes are also provided free of charge. Resident permits and visitor permits are only issued to passenger vehicles.

For inquiries on parking, please contact the Parking Department at JChiappini@lynnma.gov
