TREDYFFRIN TOWNSHIP SIDEWALK COMMITTEE

SURVEY: Tredyffrin Township is currently in the process of determining where to plan for walkways and bike lanes. Before any decisions are made, the Sidewalks Subcommittee appointed by the Board of Supervisors is interested in hearing from Tredyffrin residents on this issue.

 

Surveys can be completed on-line: http://www.tredyffrin.org/boards/stap/sidewalk.aspx. Paper copies are available at the Township Building, Tredyffrin Public Library and the Paoli Library and can be returned to the Township Building.

 

NEW WINTER STORM ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS

The Tredyffrin Township Police Department, Public Works Department, the local fire departments and the EMS responders all need your help during winter storms!

The Public Works crews spend countless hours trying to safely clear the streets during snow events.  The added burden of re-clearing public roadways create both logistic and safety issues; not to mention a drain on the Township budgetary funds.

Accumulated snow in the streets can slow emergency response and increase the threat to public safety!

Pushing or plowing snow into the streets is now prohibited by the Township Ordinance.

Additionally, during declared snow emergencies, do not park vehicles on the streets that are listed in the designated snow emergency routes as parking on these streets during declared snow emergencies is now prohibited by Ordinance.
Vehicles parked in the streets along snow emergency routes make it harder for emergency vehicles to respond to emergencies, and for Public Works crews to clear the roads for them.  A list of these snow route streets is on the Township website.  

Finally, in addition to the clearing a 24 inch path on the sidewalk 30 hours after a snow storm, please also remember to clear out fire hydrants located next to the streets on which your property borders as this is now required by ordinance.

Your cooperation with these vital winter storm requirements will improve the safety of our community!
