Winter Storm Warning 
Please do the following in the event of heavy snow:

1.  Please do not drive unless absolutely necessary.  If you must drive, drive slowly.  Watch out for children and other vehicles.

2.  Traffic lights may be put on blinker.  Proceed with caution through intersections.

3.  Do not double-park or interfere with plowing.

4.  If you have questions or concerns about snow-plowing and other snow related issues, call the Public Works Help Line at 858-7181.  Leave message and we will retrieve it.

5.  Please follow emergency parking rules that will be announced for a snow emergency.  Follow the directions of emergency personnel on the streets.

Plowing and Salting

The department of public works will salt the streets before plowing them during any snow storm.

Please Shovel The Snow

Municipal ordinance 6-5 requires property owners to remove ice and snow from the sidewalks or to salt and and instead.  Removal is required unless the ice or snow is so frozen as to make removal impractical.  The ordinance requires shoveling or either salting or sanding within 24 hours of daylight after snowfall or ice formation.

Snow Parking Advisory

In the event of snow, three special parking policies would be in effect:

1.  Alternate side of the street parking and street-sweeping would be suspended.

2.  Parking meters on the streets and in lots would be free of charge.

3.  Do NOT park in school parking lots during a snowstorm.  If there is snow, the school system must clear the snow from the schoolyards BEFORE the public is allowed to park in them.  Only then would schoolyards be open again for overnight residential parking.

If there is no snow, all normal parking rules would remain in effect.

Please check municipal television, Channel 78 on Cablevision's Optimum System, for updated announcements about the winter storm.
