Doylestown Borough Declares Snow Emergency

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Doylestown Borough Mayor Ron Strouse has declared a winter storm emergency for the borough effective at 1 p.m. Wednesday and continuing for the duration of the storm until snow emergency routes have been cleared.

A winter storm warning begins at 12 p.m. and lasts through mid-morning Thursday. The latest forecast from the National Weather Service calls for more than a foot of snow in the Philadelphia area.

Drivers in the borough should not park on a posted snow emergency route or risk being ticketed or towed. Only vehicles with snow tires, snow chains, or 4-wheel drive are permitted on these roads.

The lower levels of the Bucks County Parking Garage at Broad and Union Streets is open for parking during storms.

Borough law requires that property owners remove snow and ice from their sidewalks within 10 hours after the end of the snowfall. Overnight snowfall must be removed by 10 am the next morning. Repeated failure to clear walks seriously endangers those who use the sidewalks and may subject property owners to citations.
