In order to facilitate the movement of traffic and to combat
the hazards of snow and ice on the streets and roads of the Borough,
the Mayor or, in his absence, the President of Council of the Borough
of West Mifflin may, in their discretion, declare a snow and ice emergency.
Information on the existence of a snow emergency shall be given to
the public by the Borough through radio, newspaper, posting, personal
notification or other available media as the circumstances permit.
After any snow emergency is declared, it shall be unlawful,
at any time during the continuance of the emergency, for any person:
A. To park a vehicle or to allow a vehicle to remain parked anywhere
on the streets or roads of the Borough; or
B. To drive any motor vehicle on any such snow on the streets and roads
of the Borough, unless that vehicle is equipped with snow tires or
chains.
In addition to the declaration of a snow or ice emergency, the
Borough Street Commissioner or his designee may, at any time, in order
to facilitate the movement of traffic and to combat the hazards of
snow and ice on the streets and roads, establish a snow removal schedule
for the various streets and roads. The Street Commissioner or his
designee shall notify and require the owners of vehicles to periodically
remove vehicles from the streets and roads to facilitate snow and
ice removal. The Street Commission may request the aid of the Borough's
Police Department to remove vehicles from streets and roads during
designated snow and ice removal periods.
No vehicle shall be permitted to stand or park upon any street
for a twenty-four-hour period, or, at a minimum, until the street
is plowed, following the accumulation of two or more inches of snow
and/or ice. In the event that two or more inches have accumulated
since the last plowing of the street, then the no parking ban on said
street shall go back into effect until the street is replowed.
