WINTER STORM WARNING - SNOW EMERGENCY DECLARED

As of 9:00 PM on 2/8/25, the Teaneck DPW has declared an "Official Plow and Snow Emergency."
Ordinance Sec. 36-10.1 is in effect.

Effective 9:00 PM this evening, all hourly and metered fees in our municipal parking lots are waived. Hourly and metered fees will remain waived until 24 hours after snow fall has stopped.

All vehicles parked on the roadways of Teaneck that are not in "Exempted Areas" are subject to removal and/or being issued a summons. Vehicles can utilize Municipal Parking Lots where time and meter restrictions are lifted during the snow emergency, and remain lifted for 24 hours after the snow emergency has been lifted.

Now is a good time to review the Township's snow removal regulations which can be found on our website:
https://www.teanecknj.gov/snow

and the Teaneck Times Recycling Calendar

REMINDER - Parking of any vehicle on any portion of a public street is prohibited whenever snow is falling and the accumulation is such that it covers the public streets in the township and plowing is required, except where designated.

The term "snow" includes sleet, hail and/or ice. During storms, snowplows will concentrate on keeping two lanes clear on every street.  After storms, plows will return to widen the streets curb line to curb line. 

PLEASE wait to do your final clean-up after the streets are cleared, which is typically six (6) to eight (8) hours after the storm is over.

For additional off-street parking, residents are encouraged to use any of the municipal parking lots. Beginning six hours before snow fall is predicted to start and until 24 hours after snow fall has stopped, all hourly limits and meter fees in Township lots are waived.

As per Township of Teaneck Code, Section 32-6, residents, property owners, and managers must remove snow and ice from public sidewalks in a timely manner. Commercial property owners/tenants must remove such within 12 hours after snowfall stops. Residential property owners/tenants have up to 24 hours after snowfall stops to remove snow and ice. In addition, walkways to the entrances of any properties should be cleared in a timely fashion to allow emergency personnel and mail delivery carriers safe and clear access to the premises.
