Newark Public Safety Director Anthony F. Ambrose reports that snow, sleet and rain predicted Sunday into Monday may produce flooding in certain areas.
A chance of snow and sleet is expected on Sunday, December 1st beginning before 9 a.m., followed by a mix of rain, snow and sleet until noon. Rain will continue Sunday with a mix of rain and snow before noon on Monday. Less than an inch of snow accumulation is expected. All residents are asked to observe the city’s “No Parking on Snow Covered Roads” regulations due to the expected snowfall.
Signs have been posted on streets throughout the City of Newark to notify motorists of the streets designated for no parking during snow storms. Motorist and residents are urged to look for the sign pictured below to identify the streets where the parking ban will be enforced.
Violators can expect to be issued a summons and towed. These regulations are essential to the removal/plowing of snow and salting operations and to allow emergency vehicles to pass. Whenever possible, off-street parking is recommended during snow storms. That may mean partnering with a neighbor to use their driveway.
All residents are reminded that tossing snow into the street is against the law, and violators will be fined.
