| SIDEWALK SNOW & ICE REMOVAL
It is extremely important for all Township residents to clear all sidewalks of snow and ice. We ask this for the children of the Township. The majority of the children either wait at a bus stop or walk to school. This will allow the children to stay off roadways and arrive to school safely.
SNOW REMOVAL
West Norriton Township, by ordinance, declares a snow emergency when a snow fall of 3" or more has accumulated. This is done to facilitate the movement of traffic and to combat the hazards of snow and ice on designated Township roads. |
Residents are reminded that it is prohibited to:
1. Park a motor vehicle or allow that vehicle to remain parked anywhere on a snow emergency route including all cul-de-sacs.
2. Drive a motor vehicle on any snow emergency route unless that vehicle is equipped with snowtires or chains.
Vehicles left on designated routes will be towed to another location by the Police Department. Snow emergency routes are clearly marked. Information of the existence of a snow emergency may be given by the Township through radio, newspapers or other available media.
The presence of vehicles on a street during snow plowing operations severely affects the quality of the snow removal as well as significantly increasing the time required to remove the snow. Residents with off-street parking should use it when three inches (3) of snow have accumulated. Residents are also reminded that it is a violation of Township Ordinance to shovel, plow or blow snow into a Township street. If you have your diveway plowed, do not plow toward the street; plow into the property. Also, shoveling and blowing of snow should be directed toward your property.
