winter community road requirements

The arrival of the upcoming storm this weekend gives us an opportunity to remind everyone of some of the personal requirements set out in the By-Laws for our roads with regard to snow and ice removal.
​

• Do not leave your vehicle out on the roadside while the roads are in the process of being cleared. If your vehicle continues to force the vendor to plow around you, it will be towed at the owner's expense.  Remember, you are impacting all residents who may need to use the road.
• Similarly, do not leave trash barrels at the roadside.  The vendor has been instructed to do whatever is necessary to clear our roads. This may very well mean that your trash barrels will suffer.
• Once the roads are cleared, whether you clear your own driveway or have someone clear it, do not put the snow you are clearing back out onto the plowed roads.  Again, you are endangering anyone who has to use the road.
• Do let the board know if there is a circumstance that requires us to contact the vendor. By the same token, remember, we are not PennDOT ,NJDOT or NYDOT. Allow time for the vendor to do as much as they can. That may mean some patience on all our parts. By all means, if there is an emergency and you need to get out, of course do so.
• Lastly, please do not approach or interrupt the vendor while they are working.  They use the following priority with regards to roads. First, all the main roads are taken care of, next the connecting roads are addressed, and last, the Courts, Ways, etc. are taken care of.  This follows the same priority used by state and local road crews.

Please be safe. If you or your neighbor need something, let folks know.. These are the times when helping each other is the best way to approach things.
