• PLEASE CHECK ON ELDERLY AND IN NEED NEIGHBORS
• ONCE THE SNOW BEGINS, PLEASE STAY OFF THE ROADS FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THE FIRST RESPONDERS
• THERE IS NO PARKING ON ANY OF THE BOROUGHS ROADS DURING SNOWSTORMS – THIS IS SO THE PLOWS CAN CLEAR AND SALT THE ROADS FROM CURB TO CURB AND SO EMERGENCY VEHICLES CAN RESPOND WHEN NEEDED.
