❄️ Winter Storm Update

With snow on the way, we want to ensure our streets stay safe and clear for everyone. To help our Public Works crew do their best work, please keep these helpful tips and reminders in mind:

  • 🚗 Clear the Way: Please remove all vehicles from the streets including dead-ends or cul-de-sacs. Cars parked in these areas prevent our crews from plowing effectively.
  • ❄️ Shovel Smart: When clearing your driveway, shovel snow to the right (when facing the street). This way, the plow carries snow away from your driveway instead of back into it. Also, it is recommended not to shovel the last 10 feet of your driveway until the storm is finished and Public Works has completely plowed your street from curb to curb.  The snow will create a barrier and will help keep additional snow from being pushed back into your driveway.
  • 🛑 Keep Roads Clear: Do not shovel or blow snow into the center of the road as this will freeze and create unsafe ice conditions.
  • 🏀 Hoops Off the Curb: Per Ordinance 259-25.C, basketball hoops (portable or stationary) aren’t allowed in the Borough right-of-way. These items prohibit Public Works from effectively plowing the streets curb to curb and could potentially cause damage to the Public Works equipment.
  • 🚶 Sidewalk Safety: Snow must be shoveled from sidewalks within 12 hours of daylight after the snow has fallen.

We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our Borough safe and accessible during the upcoming storm.
