Snowplow/Driveway Tips from DPW

The top priority during a snowstorm for the Public Works Department is plowing the over 500 lane miles of Township roadways, which may require several trips down the same route.  

Snow plowed from roads often ends up blocking private driveways for some time. We recognize the inconvenience this can cause, but because of limited time and resources, plows can only clear private driveways at the request of local emergency officials. 

To reduce the amount of snow that might block your driveway, shovel an open area along the shoulder at the entrance as illustrated on the monitors. Plow blades will then push snow into the area just before your driveway, leaving a much smaller amount in front of it.

Please also be aware of the "Snow Covered Streets" ordinance in town which requires the vehicles to be removed from the street during a snowstorm.  This provides the best scenario for plow trucks to clean the roadways properly.
