After all streets are plowed and if another snow is not projected, the City will start snow removal or hauling procedures. Streets will be posted in advance and notice will be given to the radio and newspaper if time allows. Proposed work schedule will also be posted on the City's web site on the Internet. In addition to the approximately 60 miles of City streets, the City has contracted to maintain 7.14 miles of PennDot roads within the City for which the City is compensated. Our objective is to provide winter highway safety to the traveling public at a reasonable cost.
Residents can shovel or blow snow from sidewalks onto the streets before they are plowed.
You are requested to do this before the street is plowed and to place the snow on the property side of the sidewalk when possible. Residents have 24 hours after a snowfall to clear sidewalks of ice or snow. Those using snow blowers are not allowed to blow snow onto streets after they have been plowed and should be careful not to obstruct the vision of drivers by blowing snow onto traffic. It will be necessary for you to bring your own containers. Residents can help by keeping fire hydrants near their properties clear of snow to assist firefighters should an emergency arise.
