De Blasio: Travel on NYC streets banned during blizzard
No school Tuesday; Sanitation plans to get secondary streets cleared faster
Mayor de Blasio warned New Yorkers to stay off city streets as a massive nor’easter – nicknamed Juno – bore down on the city on Monday.
At a press conference at the Office of Emergency Management in Brooklyn, the mayor, accompanied by top city officials, said he had issued a Winter Weather Emergency Declaration restricting travel by all except emergency personnel beginning at 11 p.m. Monday night.
“Our message to New Yorkers is to not underestimate this storm. It’s not business as usual,” the mayor said.
