Full Notification

With the anticipation of heavy snowfall, the Cinnaminson Police Department would like to remind residents of the township ordinances that involve snow. Please note, if a vehicle is in the roadway and it interferes with the ability of Public Works to plow the roadways, your vehicle may be towed, at your own expense.

§ 2-9 Parking prohibitions for snow plowing and removal.

A. Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers the streets or 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.

§ 450-1Duty to remove.

A. The owner or owners, occupant or occupants, tenant or tenants of premises abutting or bordering upon any street in the Township of Cinnaminson shall remove all snow and ice from the abutting sidewalks of such streets, or in the case of ice, which may be so frozen as to make removal impracticable, shall cause the same to be thoroughly covered with sand, salt or cinders within 24 hours after the same shall fall or be formed thereon.

B. In case the building is occupied by more than one family or business unit, then the tenant or occupant of the first floor or story thereof is hereby required to remove all snow and ice from such portion of the sidewalks or, in the case of ice which it is impracticable to remove, cover the same with sand, salt or cinders within 24 hours after the same shall be formed or fall thereon. The sidewalk shall be cleared from snow and ice creating a clear open path not less than 24 inches in width.

§ 450-2Depositing snow on streets restricted.

No person, firm or corporation, the owner, tenant or occupant of any premises abutting on any street shall throw, place or deposit any snow or ice into or upon any street in said Township, it being the intent and purpose of this provision to prohibit all persons from throwing, casting, placing or depositing snow and ice, which accumulated within the private property belonging to said person, upon the sidewalks or streets of the Township of Cinnaminson.
