The ordinance outlines the responsibilities of residents to clear obstructions for snow plowing, prohibits dumping snow onto public roads, and grants the Mayor specific emergency powers. Key Regulations Clearing Obstructions (Sections 1 & 2): When snowfall makes it necessary or desirable for the Borough to plow streets, all vehicles and other objects must be removed from Borough streets, alleys, parking spaces, and rights-of-way. This requirement applies regardless of whether parking is available on private property. Prohibition on Dumping (Section 4): It is illegal for any person to place snow onto Borough streets, alleys, parking spaces, or rights-of-way. This includes dumping snow via snow blowers, tractors, shoveling, or any other means. Interference with Plowing (Section 3): Any activity that interferes with the removal of snow once plowing has begun is illegal and subject to fines. Enforcement and Penalties Mayor's Authority (Sections 5 & 6): The Mayor is authorized to declare a snow emergency and prescribe additional regulations if circumstances justify it. Additionally, the Mayor can remove and store any vehicle or object violating this ordinance. Fines (Section 7): Violations are subject to fines of up to $300, plus costs. The violator is also responsible for towing and storage charges as determined by the District Justice.
