On Friday, Jan. 15, all city workers will be forced to take another furlough day as part of the administration’s efforts to rein in its budget deficit. The move will close all city offices on Friday, with the exception of the police and fire departments.

In addition, autonomous agencies like the Parking Authority or the Municipal Utilities Authority will not close, and in the event of a snow emergency, streets will still be plowed. Street sweeping and garbage pick-up schedules will remain the same.

Here’s the schedule for the remaining furlough days, which will run through June.
