Snow Removal

The Township of South Orange Village is reminding residents on proper procedure to follow during a snowstorm.

Cars should be parked in driveways and not in the street and residents should never blow or shovel snow into the roadway.

The following information is from the Village website:

Snow removal will begin in the Village when three or more inches of snow have fallen on Village streets. Public Works vehicles will make four passes on each street -- two down the center and one near each curb. Depending on the volume of snow, roadways will be plowed more than once. Residents are asked to heed the following guidelines:

• Park vehicles in driveways during snowfall to allow easier street cleaning.
• Delay driveway shoveling until after streets are cleaned (to avoid violation of township ordinance).
• Avoid shoveling or blowing snow into the street (to prevent violation of township ordinance).
• Tell private contractors not to pile snow in roadways.
• Park your car to avoid protruding into the roadway or blocking the sidewalk.
• Always shovel sidewalks within 12 hours of daylight after a snowfall.
• Important: Walkway and driveway shoveling allow emergency services to access homes in the event of a fire, illness, or public safety emergency.
• Salting of roadways will begin prior to snow plowing.
