UPDATED: As of 4:15 p.m. Thursday, Mayor Randy Bateman had lifted the Winter Parking Advisory. If it is at all possible, Mayor Bateman is asking residents to still continue not to park on city streets. “It makes it easier for the Department of Works to clear our streets, especially the smaller ones, for emergency vehicles,” he explained.
Therefore, until further notice we are requesting no parking on any city streets and no unnecessary travel. This will aid city resources in clearing city streets. Also, the Oswego City School District is closed today.

Superintendent of Schools Bill Lynch has said that the state’s proposed cut in aid, combined with the end of federal job-saving stimulus funds, put the district about $5 million behind last year’s $60 million budget.
Tuesday night, he finally put a number to that gap.
