Delayed openings at town building, trash collection update, schools closed and cancellations and postponed events all featured in today's storm central edition of our 5 Things column.
Our daily column, 5 Things You Need to Know Today, will help you to get your day started and offer you some fodder for water cooler conversation. 1. There is NO school for Framingham public school students, as well as Marian High, McAuliffe Charter and St. Bridget School students. As Framingham Public Schools are cancelled, so are all activities at the schools for students.

Framingham High principal Michael Welch said the 2-hour delayed opening would have been a first for the district in more than 20 years. Many believe it would have been the first-ever for the public …

Superintendent of Schools: "We expected the walkways would be cleared to a significant extent ... Clearly, there were some areas that were less ready than we would have hoped."
Schools re-opened Tuesday after the Blizzard of 2013, but some parents were upset that sidewalks were not plowed for walkers, crosswalks were blocked and bus stops were not plowed out. Framingham Superintendent of Schools Stacy Scott has closed school on Monday, due to a lack of sidewalks and clear roads. But for some parents they saw no difference between Monday and Tuesday, and yet school was open. "My question would be about consistency... why no school on Monday (sidewalks not cleared)... But, school on Tuesday (sidewalks not cleared)?," wrote parent Andrea Adrian on Framingham Patch Facebook page. "This was obviously a major storm and we will be digging out for much of the week," said Scott Tuesday afternoon to Framingham Patch. "We …

Just when you thought it was safe to drive on Edgell Road without construction, comes word the Town of Framingham plans to include the popular roadway in its 2013 construction projects.
Like a horror film with way too many sequels, Edgell Road will see construction again this summer. Framingham Chief Engineer Bill Sedewitz told Selectmen last week Edgell Road, from Central Street to Oak Street will be part of the town's 2013 construction projects. The project will go out to bid either this month or next. The work could start as early as May, with a heightened schedule after school ends in June. "We want to do the majority of the work when the buses are not working," said Sedewitz. He estimated the project could be completed by September. Edgell has been dealing with construction for a couple of years, as sewer improvements were made in the neighborhood. Now, Framingham Department of Public Works plans to restore the road…
