Road Department

Each year, the winter season is a difficult and trying time for both residents and the Township road crews - how much snow is forecast?, will I be able to get to work?, when will it stop snowing?, etc. When it does snow, everyone can become easily frustrated and exasperated unless some simple rules are followed.

To avoid having your driveway plowed shut by the Township or State road crews after having spent a lengthy time opening it, please clear an area on the “upstream” side of your driveway entrance according to the sketch below. This will allow space for the snow plow to deposit snow without creating a window of snow at the driveway entrance.

In the process of plowing driveways, homeowners are reminded that depositing or leaving snow in the public road is prohibited and violators can be fined. Such obstructions create hazards by restricting the travel lanes of the road and cause snow and ice accumulation. Vehicles must also be removed from on-street parking spaces, particularly around cul-de-sacs.

In addition, the Township road crews are not responsible for clearing around mailboxes. If you want mail delivery during storm events, please remove enough snow around mailboxes to allow access by mail delivery vehicles.

Remember, although the Township may have considerable authority, we have no control over Mother Nature. The more understanding and cooperation from all involved, the more easily and efficiently a difficult job can be accomplished. Give the road crew a wave and a smile - plowing snow is a demanding job!
