Full Notification

Our area remains under a Winter Storm Warning and Hazardous Weather Outlook through 6 PM, with an additional 5-7 inches of snow anticipated, as well as hazardous driving conditions and the potential for power outages from downed tree limbs.

• Plowing operations are underway and all cars must be off of the roads. Public Ordinance 2070 prohibits parking on any street in Westfield when three or more inches of snow have fallen until snowfall stops and the entire width of the road has been plowed. Under these circumstances, the shoveling or blowing of snow into a plowed street is also banned.

• Downtown residents without driveways may park in Lot 4 behind Baron's. All cars must be removed from Lot 4 no later than 6 PM on Tuesday or they will be ticketed. 

• In addition, the following locations are subject to alternate side of the street parking after three inches of snow have fallen, and vehicles need to park on the side of the street with even house numbers (except for Ross Place).
  • 400 & 500 block of Downer Street
  • 400 block of First Street
  • Livingston Street
  • Cacciola Place
  • Cowperthwaite Place between Elm and Clark Streets
  • 300 & 400 block of Lenox Avenue
  • 200 block of St. Paul Street
  • Entire length of Ross Place (park on the side with odd numbers only)

• The Westfield Police Department will issue tickets for related street parking violations.
• Residents are reminded that, in addition to cars, all items should be cleared from the roadways and curbs to help facilitate efficient plowing.
• In order to keep the roads clear for plowing, Grand Sanitation will not collect curbside recycling today. Recycling will be delayed by one day for each zone scheduled for this week (Zone 2 on Wednesday, Zone 3 on Thursday, Zone 4 on Friday, and Zone 5 on Saturday). Please do not place recyclables curbside until plowing is complete.
• Town Hall will operate with a delayed opening, currently anticipated for 12 PM, and subject to change based on road conditions.
• The Conservation Center is closed to allow for Public Works staff to focus on snow removal.
• Updates, including plowing alerts and public safety information, will be posted on the Town’s website (www.westfieldnj.gov) and social media channels, as well as through Nixle.
