Full Notification

The Office of Emergency Management is monitoring a winter storm which will impact the area from Friday evening to Saturday evening. The current forecast is for 4 – 8 inches of snow. However, the total snow forecast remains very uncertain at this time.
 
As of now, snow may be heavy at times through early Saturday afternoon with rates of 1 inch per hour before diminishing later in the day. Winds may generate areas of blowing snow and low visibilities at times. Travel could be very difficult.
 
We urge residents to stay off the roads during the storm. Also, please be patient as our Department of Public Works crews work to efficiently plow Township streets.
 
REMOVE PARKED VEHICLES FROM ROADWAYS
 
Residents must remove vehicles parked on the street Friday evening to ensure effective plowing operations from our Department of Public Works crews.
 
Under the Township ordinance, vehicles must be removed from roadways from the first hour of commencement of snow to 12 hours after the snow has stopped for snowfall over 4 inches or more. Please pass this information on to your neighbors.  
 
Available parking locations when four inches of snow is predicted are:
 
•Senior Center-Linwood Place
•Babbage Park-Glenridge Avenue
•Public Library-Hermann Road
•Veterans Park-Roosevelt Avenue
•Community Park-Rt. 130
•Sabella Park-Cozzens Lane
•JFK Park-Schmidt Lane
 
***Please be advised that the parking lot across from the Municipal Building is not available.***
 
For the duration of this storm, parking on your front lawn is acceptable.

SHOVELING
 
Please make sure to shovel your sidewalks following the storm to ensure safety for pedestrians. Sidewalks must be shoveled within 24 hours after the snowfall has ended.
 
If you live near a fire hydrant, please help the Fire Department and your neighbors, by shoveling around the hydrant. This could be a life saving measure!
 
The Office of Emergency Management will be closely monitoring the latest forecasts and provide updates with the latest information.
