As a matter of public safety, all residents are responsible for shoveling their sidewalks as soon as possible following a snow storm. (Per Municipal ordinance (#56-33) all snow should be removed within 12 hours of the storm).
Laws around snow removal exist in every municipality to ensure general public safety for everyone using the sidewalks – residents, dog-walkers, and our kids who need safe walkways to school. Delivery people, USPS employees, and emergency responders need safe access to homes.
With dangerously low temperatures this past week, we understand that snow removal has been difficult. However, it is still imperative that residents continue to remove snow from their sidewalks during this time. You may need to reach out to a contracted service for assistance if you have no other resource.
We encourage neighbors to help each other and request support from our volunteers for assistance in clearing sidewalks today. Post 192 of the American Legion offers Rapid Response Volunteer Veterans (R2V2) services to support our community by offering assistance to those in need during severe weather. If you need help with shoveling or transportation, please reach out to them for assistance. Call 856-464-0428.
Thank you for your cooperation and stay safe!
