WalkUP Roslindale Snow Clearance Collaborative 3.3 enthusiasts and devotees are still welcome and encouraged to help out their neighbors and please post any pictures of cleared areas to our facebook account or tweet them out and tag @walkuprozzie when you do, but we won’t have an official effort this time around. When you’re done shoveling, we encourage you to enjoy some French Toast or other hearty breakfast of your choice. It sure is pretty out there!

YELLOW ALERT: WalkUP Roslindale Snow Clearance Collaborative Version 3.3 – Possible 4″ (10cm) Accumulation
Boston Yeti says it’s possible we’re going to get a sufficient amount of snow to call out our WURSCC forces to clear accessible corner ramps and bus stops here in our own little slice of heaven and thereby serve our neighbors and earn some Rozzie Bucks. STAY TUNED!
UPDATE: WalkUP Roslindale Snow Clearance Collaborative 3.0 – 2019-2020 – WE’RE A GO FOR WRSCC 3.1 – 3/4 DECEMBER 2019
SEE UPDATES BELOW REGARDING LOCATIONS/DATES/TIMES
With the first flakes now falling, we here at WalkUP Roslindale are standing ready to launch the WalkUP Roslindale Snow Clearance Collaborative 3.0 once again for the upcoming winter of 2019-2020. By way of reminder, the WRSCC focuses on clearing snow and ice from bus stops on key routes in and around Roslindale. This year, we will once again look to clear bus stops in key locations and incentivize participation by partnering with our very own Roslindale Village Main Street (using funds provided last year by District 5 City Councilor Tim McCarthy and the Roslindale Business Group) as follows:
- Anytime there’s a snow event greater than 4” (just over 10 cm), we will pick a suitable morning or evening time as soon as possible after the snow stops flying to meet up at the locations identified below and then descend on and shovel out the identified stops.
- The incentive we’re offering will once again be $10 Rozzie Bucks coupons for everyone who shows up and lends a hand.
- BTW, Rozzie Bucks are a great deal — good at many stores and restos in the square and the farmers market to boot!
Scheduled locations/captains are as follows:
- Washington/Cummins – Steve Gag and Greg Tobin [DONE ALREADY]
- Washington/Archdale – Ben Bruno [DONE ALREADY]
- Washington/Cornell – Sarah Kurpiel Lee – Tuesday, December 3, at 4:45 pm
- South/Walter – Matt Lawlor – Wednesday, December 4, at 7:00 am
- Corinth/Cohasset – Alan Wright – Tuesday, December 3, at 3:00 pm (look for Alan anywhere on Corinth from Washington to Belgrade)
- Washington/Brahms-Blue Ledge – Rob Orthman – Tuesday, December 3, at 8:00 pm
We will firm up these locations, captains, and timing as we see just how much snow we get. Thanks all!

Will this wintry mix produce enough snow for us to invoke the WalkUP Roslindale Snow Clearance Collaborative? Stay tuned!
Predictions on snow totals for our part of the world have been a bit all over the map, but it seems at least more likely than not that, by tomorrow at some point, we will get the 4″ of snow needed to invoke the Collaborative. Stay tuned and if you’re interested in helping us dig out a couple of key areas in the neighborhood once the snow has stopped flying, go ahead and log in your information. We’d love to have you join us!
