❄️ WINTER STORM PREP: What Ambler Residents Need to Know ❄️
With winter weather in the forecast, it’s time to brush up on our Borough’s snow rules! Let’s work together to keep our streets safe for neighbors, emergency vehicles, and our hardworking plow crews.
🚗 PARKING & VEHICLES
- Off-Street Parking: If you have a driveway or garage, please use it. Keeping cars off the street (and the alleys!) allows plows to clear the road from curb to curb.
- Equipment: If you must drive, ensure your vehicle is equipped with snow tires or chains.
🧹 SIDEWALK CARE
- The 24-Hour Rule: Residents and business owners are required to clear a path of at least 30 inches wide on all abutting sidewalks within 24 hours after the snow stops falling.
- Don’t Shovel Into the Street: It is dangerous to shovel, plow, or blow snow back into the roadway. Please pile it on your lawn or the curb strip instead.
- Fire Hydrants: If you have a hydrant near your property, please clear a perimeter around it so our Fire Department can access it in an emergency.
🔇 POWER EQUIPMENT HOURS
- To keep things quiet for resting neighbors, the use of snowblowers and other domestic power equipment is prohibited between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM.
