A few friendly reminders to our residents and motorists during this winter season...
Our Public Works crews plow approximately 100 miles of Township-owned roads as well as 20 miles of State-owned roads (through an agreement with PennDOT). Middle Road and Duncan Avenue are County owned and maintained. Route 8 is State-owned and maintained by PennDOT in the winter. It takes our crews three to five hours for one route (depending on if all trucks are running and what type of winter event they are dealing with). Main roads are taken care of first followed by residential streets.
Please help our snow and ice removal crews during winter snow events/emergencies by NOT PARKING on Township roadways.
Please do not plow, shovel or blow snow from sidewalks or driveways into public streets. This slows snow removal efforts and can result in a dangerous condition for pedestrians and drivers.
Plowing snow onto driveways and sidewalks cannot be avoided. Public Works drivers are not permitted to “steer” the plow away from driveways.
If it's snowing, our crews are out. Please do not call to find out when a particular street will be cleared - they will be there!
If you must go out during a snow event, please give yourself extra time and use caution!
And most importantly…STAY SAFE!!
