Snow Reminders
Below are reminders for residents to be mindful of with the potential forecast for snow tomorrow, Saturday, January 9th. Check the Township's website and Facebook page to see if a snow emergency has been declared.
Parking - When a “Snow Emergency” is declared by the Township, all cars must be removed from streets designated and posted as a “Snow Emergency Route.” Vehicles not removed are subject to towing and citation. During any snow storm, even if a snow emergency is not declared, all residents are highly encouraged to remove all vehicles and seasonal equipment from the roadways by placing them in their driveways if possible. This will ensure streets are cleared and to allow plow drivers unobstructed ability to plow roadways.
Sidewalk Shoveling & Driveway Plowing – Township Code does not allow for snow to be plowed or blown back into the street. Ordinances prohibit this practice, which in extreme conditions can result in fines. The purpose of this ordinance is to keep our streets clear for safe travel. For residents who have a private contractor clearing their driveways, please remind them of this provision.
Mailboxes - Property owners are reminded to check the security and proper placement of their curbside mailboxes after the recent snow and ice storms. The Township has policies in place regarding replacement of mailboxes that are properly placed and have obviously been directly hit by a snowplow. However, the Township is not responsible for mailbox damage caused by snow being thrown off the plow, or if a mailbox is unstable and/or hanging over in to the cart way. According to the United States Postal Service, mailboxes are to be placed with the face of the box 6 to 8 inches from the front of the curb.
Christmas Tree Pickups - Begin January 8th
Our Public Works Department will start Christmas tree pickups on Monday, January 8th. Pickups will continue on a Monday/Friday schedule through January with the exception of Monday, January 15th. If crews are tasked with snow removal or emergency work, the pickup will be the following business day. If you would like your tree removed, be sure to place your tree at the curb on these designated days.
