REMINDER TO RESIDENTS
School is back in session! Please protect the safety of all pedestrians by slowing down and obeying the speed limit. Borough streets have a 25 mph speed limit, which will be enforced! Stop for pedestrians in crosswalks.
SNOW REMOVAL
Residents are reminded to remove snow and ice from sidewalks within 24 hours after a storm. Please do not shovel snow into the roadway. Residents who contract for snowplowing services should instruct the contractor not to pile or push snow into or across the roadway. If you vacate your home during the winter, make arrangements to have your sidewalks cleaned in your absence.
Law of Physics: Our DPW crew is not intentionally moving snow into your driveway when they plow. Blocking your driveway in their attempts to keep the roads free of snow is unavoidable, but the extra shoveling is a small price to pay for clear, safe roads. Please help them do their job by keeping your vehicles off the streets and your trash cans safely out of the plow pathway until streets are cleared.
