MAYOR WALSH ISSUES STATEMENT ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE MODIFIED ROUTE 

BOSTON - Wednesday, March 4, 2015 -  Mayor Martin J. Walsh today issued the following statement on the 2015 South Boston St. Patrick's Day Parade, scheduled for Sunday, March 15: 

"Tonight, I met with the organizers of the South Boston St. Patrick's Day parade and local elected officials for a follow-up discussion on this year's parade. 

I am pleased all parties involved were able to come to agreement that due to the unprecedented amount of snow Boston has received over a 30 day period, the St. Patrick's Day Parade route will start at Broadway Station and end at Farragut Road to ensure the safety of the participants and spectators. This weekend, organizers of the parade will be coordinating a volunteer effort, with the assistance of the City, to clear the remaining snow on the modified route."
