REMINDER FOR PARKING & SIDEWALK RULES DURING SNOWSTORMS
As snowfall accumulates, please remember the following parking restrictions and sidewalk clearing rules to ensure safe travels.
Please do not park in the street when snow is approaching. Our Public Works Department need the streets to be clear during snow plowing. Police and Code Enforcement may issue warnings and/or tickets for noncompliance, and vehicles may be towed.
Additionally, please be advised that in order to have safe passage throughout our town, including students walking to school, Borough Code 13-3.1 states that all residents must clear their sidewalks within 12 hours of daylight. We ask that you do your best to clear your sidewalk as early as possible for kids walking to school.
Thank you.
