Full Notification

Borough of Fair Haven DPW crews are actively preparing for the impending storm and will work diligently to keep our streets safe and passable.

Please be advised:
Under Municipal Code, whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation covers the roadway, a snow emergency is in effect. All vehicles must be removed from Borough streets and parked in driveways to allow snowplows and emergency vehicles to pass through. If vehicles remain on the streets, DPW crews may be unable to plow effectively.

**Due to the timing of the storm, please remove vehicles by 6:00 p.m.**

This parking prohibition remains in effect until the snow has stopped and the streets have been plowed and cleared sufficiently, ensuring that parked vehicles do not interfere with traffic flow or emergency response.

**BOROUGH CODE - TEMPORARY PARKING PROHIBITION FOR SNOW PLOWING AND REMOVAL**  

**§ 7-10.1 Removal**  

a. Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers the streets and highways, an emergency shall exist and no vehicle shall be parked on the streets or highways or portions thereof indicated. The above parking prohibitions shall remain in effect after the snow has ceased until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic.  

b. Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation of traffic, and any police officer may provide for the removal of such vehicle. The owner shall pay the reasonable costs of the removal and storage, which may result from such removal, before regaining possession of the vehicle.

**SHOVEL SIDEWALKS RESPONSIBLY**  

When shoveling snow, please avoid throwing it into the road. Instead, create neat piles in out-of-the-way areas that do not impede travel. Do not pile snow in the street. Also, remember to clear the sidewalk in front of your home to provide pedestrians with a safe and clear path.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation!
