Residents are encouraged to move vehicles ahead of the storm
A Snow Alert/Emergency will take effect in Lansdale at 8 p.m. Saturday, as significant snowfall is forecast for the region.
Borough officials announced the alert in advance to give residents time to make parking arrangements before plowing begins. Once in effect, all vehicles must be removed from designated Snow Alert/Emergency routes to allow crews to safely clear streets and push snow fully off the roadway.
The Lansdale Police Department will actively enforce parking restrictions on emergency routes throughout the borough.
Free parking options available
To assist residents, SEPTA has agreed to allow free parking in the Lansdale parking garage from Saturday through Tuesday.
Additional parking is available at borough park lots, including:
Officials emphasized that vehicles left on restricted routes prevent plows from safely clearing streets and can delay storm cleanup for the entire community.
Residents are encouraged to move vehicles ahead of the storm and monitor borough communications for updates as snowfall begins. Contact Lansdale Police at 215-368-1801 for any public safety issues during the storm. According to the borough website, residents who experience a power outage or have an electrical emergency outside of normal office hours, contact police at 267-642-9411.
