All major roads and a majority of side streets are clean down to the blacktop. DPW continuing their efforts. Please use extreme caution and give yourself extra time. Stopping distance should be increased no matter the road condition.
Schools closed - This means plenty of strong shovelers home for the day
Township opening at 11am
Garbage collection will continue where they left off but they are about a day or more behind.
Please shovel out fire hydrants first!
Here is the normal reminders to help:
West Windsor Police are reminding all residents to please shovel. Lets face it, you don't want to be that person with your sidewalk covered and everyone else did theirs. Please remove all snow from sidewalks . For the safety of your neighbors and their children and dogs, please have it removed by a professional or a well intentioned teen who needs xbox money. At some point we will have to devote manpower to sending warnings to those who do not. If you have an elderly neighbor please help them and dig out for them.
Also be sure to clear an area around your fire hydrants, This will only take 10 minutes more and you are already out there!
Car roofs covered in snow become dangerous to all those around you. Please have the snow removed before it becomes flying shards of ice.
Lastly, It is a crime to leave pets outside without proper shelter for more than 30 minutes when the temperature is above 90 degrees or below 32. Frozen poop is not appealing so please bag it if you're walking your pet. Please call HQ immediately if you see pets left outside for extended periods.
Thank you all again for working together to make this storms impact on emergency services and the DPW as minimal as possible.
I have attached the local ordinance below for those who need it.
