Pittsfield: Temporary New Traffic Pattern on Fenn St.

Print Story | Email Story
PITTSFIELD, Mass.— A temporary new traffic pattern will be in place on Fenn  Street, between Allen Street and First Street, beginning on Monday, May 8 due to underground  utility work conducted by Eversource.  
 
This work is expected to continue over the next several weeks. While this work is underway, we encourage drivers to seek alternate routes and follow the designated detour signs.  
 
Traffic travelling from North Street will be detoured to Allen Street or to Renne Avenue. For  travel from First Street, Fenn Street will be reduced to one lane for travel using the westbound  lane. At times, this single lane will be temporarily closed due to large construction equipment in  use.  
 
On-street parking, on Fenn Street, located next to City Hall, is prohibited during this work between the hours of 6 a.m.-6 p.m. 
 
Pearl Street will only be accessible via Eagle Street.

Pittsfield Shares Updated Delivery Schedule for Toters

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The new residential curbside trash and recycling rollout has launched. The City of Pittsfield announces an updated schedule of delivery for the new toters for residents to receive them in time for the first pickup.
 
There are approximately 3,500 toters being delivered for each collection route. Casella will begin delivering toters for each route earlier than expected. For each route going forward, delivery of toters will begin four business days prior to the start of the pickup.
 
For example, residents who have Thursday collection routes will start to see their recycling toter delivered beginning tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 13 for the first pickup on Thursday, Sept. 19. For trash toters, residents will begin to receive their toter on Friday, Oct. 18 for a pickup on Thursday, Oct. 24.
 
Delivery will continue over those four days until every household receives their designated toter, so we ask residents to be patient if they do not receive their toter on the first day of delivery.
 
Here is a detailed schedule.
 
There is no need for residents to be home to receive their carts. As part of the delivery, carts will include additional instructions for placement as well as a calendar and frequently asked questions. As a reminder, there are no changes to the collection day. If a resident currently has trash and recycling collection on a Monday, they will continue to have collection on Mondays.
