Our Public Works crews continue their critical recovery efforts from the recent storm. The safety of our children is our top priority. Crews are currently focused on clearing all school zones, including:
- Student drop-off and pickup areas.
- Crosswalks, corners, and crossing guard stations to ensure safe passage.
- Applying salt to mitigate ice in these key locations.
Our teams are concurrently widening intersections, beginning with Wood Avenue, to improve traffic flow and visibility.
Once all school zones are secure, we will shift our full efforts to clearing snow from residential street corners and intersections across the City to ease congestion for all drivers.
We have already addressed snow removal operations at the John T Gregorio Center (JTG) on 330 Helen Street, and the Linden Multipurpose Center (LMPC) building located at 1026 John Street. Snow removal operations at the Police Athletic League (PAL) building located at 400 Maple Avenue are currently underway.
To assist our crews and ensure a full recovery, please park in driveways whenever possible. We also remind residents not to shovel or discard snow into the street, as this creates hazards and impedes plowing and snow removal operations.
We thank you for your patience as our teams work diligently to restore safe conditions citywide. Please continue to exercise caution when traveling. For urgent non-emergency issues, please contact the Department of Public Works at (908) 474-8666.
