"Boston Police Commissioner Michael A. Cox detailed the department's plans in a letter sent Tuesday to university officials and colleagues. Beginning Sunday evening, temporary parking and vehicle access will be restricted in and around Boston University and Northeastern University, according to the letter. Similar restrictions will apply to streets in and around Brighton, Kenmore Square, Faneuil Hall, and the North Station - areas known for restaurants and bars that often host game-day gatherings."
"Starting around 8 p.m., pedestrian access will also be limited: Kenmore Square will be restricted after the third quarter of play in the game, and expect Boylston and Hemenway streets to be impacted as well, Cox said. "Please, if you are out and about, we ask that you also pay particular attention to your surroundings, especially vehicular traffic," Cox said. "Do not walk with headphones on and do not wear all dark clothing so motorists are able to see you - particularly with the snow.""
"The Boston police are urging residents and visitors to stay alert - not just to crowds but also to the weather, the letter states. Meteorologists are forecasting a high of 16 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 4 degrees Fahrenheit on Sunday. Cox said Boston police will increase patrols near licensed establishments and residential neighborhoods, particularly where activity or house parties typically spike on major event nights. He reminded college students that underage drinking and disruptive behavior will not be tolerated."
