“I got one on Friday about the Island Street Bridge repair work starting tomorrow otherwise the last one I received was just after Christmas about the Snow Emergency Restricted Overnight Parking Ban,” Penterman replied. “FYI- Most if not all cell providers don’t charge you for Amber Alerts. Otherwise you can follow the steps I posted. Hope this helps.
