Snow Rules To Know in Cranford

CRANFORD, NJ — With the impending snow on the horizon, don't forget to follow Cranford's snow-related ordinances on parking and snow removal.

The snow storm is expected to hit the area tonight and continue through Thursday bringing between 6 to 10 inches.

Residents are asked to remove any vehicles from the roadways to assist the DPW in keeping the roads clear. Please use your driveway or neighbor’s driveway if possible. Residents living in the downtown that normally park in municipal parking lots with Overnight Permits are to park in the parking deck after 4 p.m. Wednesday, starting on level 2.

Anyone using the parking garage is reminded NOT to park in spaces marked as Cranford Crossing Resident Parking. These spaces are leased by the Cranford Crossing Complex. Vehicles parked in these spaces are subject to towing. In addition, any cars not parked in marked spaces will be ticketed.

ALL residents who park on a State or County road are required to remove their vehicles from the roads when snow covered.

These roadways include:

• North Avenue (State Rt 28)

• Centennial Avenue
• Raritan Road
• Walnut Avenue

As always, check on elderly or home bound neighbors during the storm.
