(The following is a release from Lansdale Borough.)
The Borough has issued a Snow Alert effective noon on Wednesday, Dec. 16. The emergency will be in effect until further notice.
We will continue to monitor forecasts and should predictions change, the borough will adjust the upcoming alert. For citizens, a snow alert means that all vehicles parked on those streets where signage indicates “No Parking” during a snow alert are required, by law, to be moved elsewhere in order to allow snow plowing of the road surface.
Snow alert signage dictates which side of the street residents may not park on when an alert is declared. Residents may park in their driveways (if available), alternate side of their street or another street not marked "No Parking."
It is not the policy of the borough to direct any resident or citizen where to park (i.e. we do not require residents to park in alleys when a snow alert is declared), we can only instruct where parking is not permitted.
These parking restrictions are put into place for the purpose of public safety as well as the efficiency of snow clearing on borough streets; vehicles in violation are subject to ticketing and/or towing by the Lansdale Borough Police Department.
If you see a vehicle parked on a Snow Alert Route, please contact Lansdale Police at 215-368-1800.
