(Boston Orange編譯)麻州州長奚莉（Maura Healey）今（2）日宣佈，為慶祝美國建國250週年，在7月3日至5日之間，麻州保護與休閒局（DCR）管轄的所有物業，都將開放供民眾免費停車。
奚莉州長表示，「我們希望民眾能盡情享受獨立日週末，尤其是在我們慶祝國家建國250週年之際。為此，我們決定在本週末讓全州所有州屬物業的停車全部免費。」
DCR局長Nicole LaChapelle表示，獨立日週末是DCR一年中最繁忙的週末，來自麻州各地及更遠地區的家庭、朋友和鄰里都會齊聚我們的公園和海灘，共同慶祝美國的生日。免除停車費，可以讓更多人更便捷地享受戶外時光。
DCR將在付費停車系統中統一實施這次的免費措施，包括Yodel應用程式、停車繳費機和現場工作人員停車管理。先到先得的停車位，在停車場達到飽和時，需求量大的地點仍可能關閉。建議居民和遊客提前規劃，訪問DCR公園警報網頁獲取有關設施關閉的最新資訊。
奚莉州長昨日也已宣佈，黑弗希爾市下水道壓力主線發生故障後，州立海灘的檢測結果顯示細菌水平正常，游泳區域安全。當地海灘也已進行檢測，其中許多已獲准開放游泳。如需了解哪些海灘已發布禁止游泳警示的最新資訊，請查閱互動式海灘水質儀表板。受影響區域的海灘和河流區域將繼續進行持續的水質檢測，以確保公眾安全。
Governor Healey Announces Free Parking at State Parks and Beaches for July 4th Weekend
BOSTON – Governor Maura Healey today announced that parking will be free at all Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) properties statewide in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution from July 3 to 5.
“We want people to enjoy the Fourth of July weekend, especially as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding,” said Governor Healey. “In recognition of that, we're making parking at all of our state properties free this weekend.””
"The Fourth of July is DCR's busiest weekend of the year, when families, friends and neighbors from across Massachusetts and beyond come together to celebrate America's birthday in our parks and beaches," said DCR Commissioner Nicole LaChapelle. "By waiving parking fees, we're making it easier for more people to enjoy the outdoors and celebrate in the places that belong to all of us. As we mark the 250thanniversary of our nation, we look forward to welcoming visitors to our properties across the state, and we encourage everyone to plan ahead and enjoy the time outdoors.”
DCR will implement the waiver across its paid parking system, including the Yodel app, pay stations and field staff parking operations. Parking is first come, first served. High-demand locations may still close when parking lots reach capacity. Residents and visitors are encouraged to plan ahead by visiting the DCR Park Alerts webpage for the most up-to-date information on facility closures.
Yesterday, Governor Healey announced that following the sewer force main failure in Haverhill, test results at state beaches showed normal levels of bacteria and are safe areas for swimming. Local beaches have also conducted testing and many have moved forward with allowing swimming. For up-to-date information on which beaches have been posted with no swimming advisories, please see the Interactive Beach Water Quality Dashboard. Ongoing water testing will continue at beaches and river areas in potentially impacted areas to ensure conditions remain safe for the public.
