Full Notification

The season's first winter storm is expected to bring several inches of snow to the area this afternoon and evening, in addition to freezing rain and sleet. As such, we would like to remind everyone to drive extra cautious if you need to travel during the storm. Remember to drive at a slower/safe speed, give yourself extra distance between vehicles, and expect your stopping distance to increase. Also, know whether your vehicle has an antilock brake system and use it properly. Antilock brake systems prevent your wheels from locking up during braking. If you have antilock brakes, apply firm, continuous pressure to the brake pedal. If you don’t have antilock brakes, you may need to pump your brakes if you feel your wheels starting to lock up.

We would also like to remind everyone that Township Ordinance prohibits parking on a snow covered street. This is to allow the Department of Public Works to more easily remove any accumulated snow and ice to make our roadways safer to travel. Due to the forecasted weather, permission for overnight on street parking this evening will not be granted.

Township Ordinance also requires the owner or tenant of properties to remove all snow and ice from the full width and length of all sidewalks abutting the roadway within 12 hours of daylight after the storm. The depositing snow or ice into or upon any sidewalk or street in the Township is also prohibited.

Thank you for your cooperation and please drive safely today and everyday!
