Towamencin Declares Snow Emergency

Release by Towamencin Police

Towamencin Township Police has announced that a snow emergency has been declared starting at noon Tuesday until noon Wednesday.
Due to the advancing snow storm, the township is asking all Towamencin residents to remove all vehicles, and seasonal vehicles, from the roadways by placing them in their driveways. This will ensure streets are cleared in the most efficient manner.
When a snow emergency is declared by the police, all cars must be removed from roadways/streets designated as “Snow Emergency Routes."
Vehicles not removed are subject to citation.
Residents who do not live on a designated “Snow Emergency Route” are encouraged to remove all vehicles, and seasonal vehicles, from the roadways by placing them in their driveways if possible. This will ensure streets are cleared, and to allow plow drivers unobstructed ability to plow roadways.
Plowing of snow from your driveways into the roadways is prohibited by Ordinance.
All sidewalks are required to be cleared of snow and ice within 24 hours of the end of the snowfall.
Check on the elderly and frail in your neighborhoods. If residents know of an elderly neighbor who needs assistance, they are encouraged to help them, including any shoveling of snow.
