Heavy snowfall or treacherous ice conditions
are a threat to the safety and well-being of Township residents. In
order to minimize the adverse impact of such conditions, a concerted
and organized municipal response is required. This article authorizes
the Township Mayor to declare a snow or ice emergency and provides
for the removal of snow and ice and the movement of traffic on major
roadways during such emergencies.
In order to facilitate the movement of traffic
and to combat the hazards of snow and ice on the snow emergency routes
set forth in this article, the Mayor, at his/her discretion, may declare
a snow and ice emergency, designated in this article as a "snow emergency".
Public notice of the existence of a snow emergency shall be given
through radio, newspaper or other available media, and information
of the termination or modification of the emergency may be given by
use of the same media.
After any snow emergency is declared and during
the existence of a snow emergency, it shall be unlawful, at any time
during the continuance of the emergency, for any person:
A. To park or leave unattended a motor vehicle or to
allow that vehicle to remain parked or unattended anywhere on any
snow emergency route hereinafter designed; or
B. To drive any motor vehicle on any street with tires
which are unsafe for snow and ice conditions.
The following are designated snow emergency
routes:
