Avoid Snowplow Rage !!!
·
Park cars off the street.
·
Don’t shovel driveways out to the street until
plowing is complete!
·
Do not shovel driveway snow onto the street –
This is against Township
Ordinance and creates a
hazard.
·
Do not shovel sidewalks onto street – this is
also against Township
Ordinance and creates a
hazard as well. (*note –
Residents have 24 hours
to remove snow from
sidewalk per Township
Ordinance.)
·
You must have a police report in order to file a
claim regarding damage
to your vehicle caused
by Township equipment.
·
Avoid Towing and Impound Charges.
Township
Ordinance 7-6.3 a –b
imposes temporary
parking prohibition when
snow has fallen and
accumulated.
At this point an
emergency shall exist
until the snow has
ceased and the streets
have been plowed
sufficiently.
Any unoccupied
vehicles may be towed
and impounded at the
owner’s expense.
Please cooperate
with plow crews by
parking off-street until
after plowing is
complete.
This will ensure
safe, clean streets.
MAILBOX REPLACEMENT
POLICY
This policy pertains to
mailboxes damaged by
Township snowplows. To
request a replacement
please contact the
Department of Public
Works at 973-983-2891.
The mailbox will be
checked to see if a
simple repair can be
made.
If so, this will
be done.
If the post is
broken, but the mailbox
can be reused, our
workers will remount
your mailbox on a new
wooden post.
If the mailbox
cannot be reused, it
will be replaced with a
new mailbox. The work
will be scheduled as
soon as possible after
the ground thaws.
The Township cannot
participate in the
replacement of the
luxury type mailboxes
which are often
installed by homeowners.
These mailboxes
far exceed the budget
limitation of the
Township.
If you choose to
install such a mailbox
you do so at your own
risk.
The limits of the
replacement by the
Township are as outlined
above.
The Township does
not provide lettering or
numbering on the box.
To report an ice
condition call
973-983-2891.
To report a snow & ice
related emergency off
hours, please contact
the Rockaway Township
Police Department at
973-625-4000.
