Discounted garage parking ending at noon today
The City’s discounted parking rates will end at 12 p.m. today. Residents are reminded to move their cars from participating garages by 12 p.m. Regular rates will go into effect after that time.
Keep sidewalks and curb ramps clear of snow and ice
While the City’s Department of Parks, Recreation, & Public Works will continue to clear snow and ice from City property, property owners and occupants are reminded that they have six (6) hours after the completion of a storm to remove snow and ice from sidewalks adjacent to their property, along with adjoining curb ramps or curb cuts.
Residents are urged to use caution when shoveling and assist elderly or disabled neighbors with clearing snow and ice from their properties. It is illegal to shovel snow back onto streets or onto fire hydrants.
The City performs proactive inspections and relies on citizen complaints to help identify property owners that are not meeting sidewalk safety requirements. While most property owners comply with the safety regulations, the City will issue fines to those who do not keep sidewalks clear. To report an un-shoveled sidewalk, please email sanitationinspectors@hobokennj.govsanitationinspectors@hobokennj.gov

Residents are reminded street cleaning had previously been suspended today, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Street cleaning is scheduled to resume tomorrow, Tuesday, Jan. 21. All other parking regulations remain in effect.
