Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox is letting students know about some preparation the department is doing ahead of Super Bowl weekend — and advising them to be on their best behavior.

“As fans, we are asking everyone to celebrate responsibly,” Cox wrote in a letter to Boston area students earlier this week.

To try to make it as safe as possible, Cox wrote that BPD would be restricting traffic on Sunday in some areas around Brighton, Kenmore

Square, Boston University, Northeastern University, Faneuil Hall, and North Station.

“Please pay close attention to signage in these areas to avoid your vehicle being towed,” he wrote.

In addition to restricting car traffic, pedestrian traffic will also be restricted in similar areas starting at 8 p.m.

“For example,” Cox wrote, “Kenmore Square will be restricted after the third quarter of play in game. Boylston and Hemingway Streets will be impacted as well.”

Department spokesperson Sgt. John Boyle said that the city would be offering more specific information about this in the coming days.

In addition to those changes, Cox said that anyone walking around should try to be aware of their surroundings, asking pedestrians to avoid wearing headphones and or dark clothing when they’re out so that drivers can see them, “especially with the snow.”

He reminded them to watch their drinks and not to get into ride-shares they didn’t call.

Cox also noted that students should be aware of the extreme cold temperatures Boston is expecting and either dress accordingly or consider staying home.

BPD will have an increased presence near licensed drinking establishments as well as in neighborhoods where they typically see more house parties. Cox reminded students that underage drinking is illegal — as is giving alcohol to minors.

“Please remember that there will be zero tolerance for disruptive and illegal behavior,” Cox wrote. “Should you behave in a way that warrants the intervention of Boston or campus police, your name will be shared with your respective Dean of Students for appropriate discipline.”
