WINTER WEATHER REMINDERS

Snow Removal
     During the winter snow season, Borough employees work long hours in an effort to clear the roadways of snow and ice to make the streets safe for motorists.   Please assist them in their efforts by obeying the following regulations:

Alternate Side Parking:
     A. During the course of any snowfall with accumulations in excess of three inches (3″), parking shall be prohibited on the uneven-numbered (house numbers) side of all Borough streets until such time as plowing is completed on said side of the street.
     B. 24 hours following the end of the snowstorm (when snow has stopped), parking shall be prohibited on the even-numbered (house numbers) side of all Borough streets, and on Vester Place in its entirety, until such time as plowing is completed on said streets.
