Snow Removal
Winter months bring a need to be prepared for ice and snow removal. The Road Maintenance Department plows and salts approximately 60 miles of Township roads and 16 miles of State roads during inclement weather. Township personnel staff a fleet of snow plows and other equipment to handle bad weather conditions. During icy conditions, the Township is equipped with salt and anti-skid equipment to apply to streets to help provide safer travel.
Mailboxes at the roadside must be at least 36 inches high and 6 to 8 inches behind the road edge. The Township will only replace a mailbox if it is contacted by the truck or plow itself. If a mailbox is hit by a plow, the Township will replace it with a standard 4 inch by 4 inch wooden post and standard PVC mailbox. If you live along a street without curbs, it is recommended that you place reflective markers along the edge of your lawn to prevent damage from the snowplow.
Residential and business property owners and tenants are required to clear sidewalks and make them safe for pedestrian use. Snow is to be removed from the full width of all public walks within 24 hours after the snow has stopped falling. Anti-skid materials must be placed on icy walkways.
Snow should be shoveled or plowed to the right side of the driveway as you are facing the intersecting roadway. (See diagram below). By piling snow away from the oncoming direction of the snow plow, the snow will not be pushed back onto your driveway.
Remember to try to avoid piling snow at the property entrance whenever possible. High accumulations of snow can obstruct the vision of motorists, posing a safety hazard.
Do not push snow onto roadways at any time. This creates hazardous conditions for all vehicles.
