REMINDER: Snow Removal Ordinance & Requirements
With the potential for snow/rain/ice - all homeowners, residents, and business owners are being reminded of the following snow and ice regulations, requirements, and safety measures:
It is the purpose and intent of this section, in the interests of public safety and the general welfare of the Township, to allow plowing and/or removal of snow from the streets of the Township, from curb to curb, if reasonably possible under the circumstances and if the necessary equipment and personnel are available.
Parking of any vehicle on any portion of a public street is prohibited whenever snow is falling and the accumulation is such that it covers the public streets in the Township and plowing is required, except in those locations set forth as follows:
Alma Terrace. North side, Chestnut Street to Elm Avenue.
Amsterdam Avenue. Both sides, Teaneck Road to 150 feet west thereof.
East Cedar Lane. South side, from Azalea Court to entrance of Overpeck County Golf Course.
Elm Avenue. Both sides, Alma Terrace to North Street.
Terhune Street. Both sides, Chestnut Street to Linden Avenue.
NOTE: All existing parking restrictions for the above locations remain in effect during the period of snow emergency.
Said parking prohibition shall remain in effect after the snow has ceased and until the streets in the Township have been plowed sufficiently and to the extent that parking on them will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic and the snow removal process.
As used in this section, the term "snow" shall mean any precipitation depositing any accumulation on the public streets of the Township requiring plowing, including without limitation, snow, sleet, hail or ice.
Regulatory and warning signs in accordance with N.J.S.A. 39:4-198 shall be erected and maintained at all street entrances for motor vehicles to the Township. Signs for exempt streets shall be posted as required.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation of this section shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation of traffic, and any police officer may issue a summons and provide for the removal of such vehicle. The owner of such vehicle shall pay the prevailing cost of theremoval and storage which may result from such removal before regaining possession of such vehicle.
Handicapped parking spaces shall be exempt from the provisions of this section.
(h) All hourly limits and meter fees in municipal parking lots in the Township shall be waived for a period commencing six hours before a snowfall is predicted until 24 hours after snow has ceased to fall.
