Snow Removal Guidelines

The road crew takes time during the fall season to plan, prepare for and anticipate winter precipitation. Every snowstorm event is unique and has its own combination of snow, ice, and wind.

As winter weather arrives, please help keep our roads safe and clear by following these guidelines:

  1. Right-of-Way Clearance:
    • Do not park or place objects (trash cans, basketball hoops, reflectors, etc.) within five feet of the road. Items in the borough right-of-way may be removed.
  2. Mailbox Safety:
    • Heavy snow can damage mailboxes. Ensure yours is secure. The borough is not responsible for damage caused by snow impact.
  3. Two-Way Traffic:
    • Do not push snow into the street. All roads must remain accessible for plowing and emergency vehicles.
  4. Parking Restrictions:
    • Vehicles blocking areas required for plowing may receive a warning or be towed to ensure snow removal.

Your cooperation helps us keep Mount Pocono safe this winter. Thank you!
