Snow Emergencies Declared in Conshohocken and West Conshohocken

The mayors of Conshohocken and West Conshohocken have declared snow emergencies. Below are the announcements from each:

Conshohocken

The Mayor, in his discretion, has declared a snow emergency to exist within the Borough effective March 21, 2018 beginning at midnight and continuing until further notice.

The following acts shall be unlawful, and shall be punishable as provided under law:

  1. To park a motor vehicle or to allow that vehicle to remain parked anywhere on any snow emergency route so duly designated.
  2. To drive any motor vehicle on any such snow emergency route, unless that vehicle is equipped with snow tires or chains.

During the snow emergency parking is restricted on the following streets: Fayette Street, both sides from the Conshohocken Borough line to the bridge; all metered areas, the south side of Freedly Street from 12th to 11th Avenues, Poplar Street from Elm Street to Washington Street.  Vehicles parked on these snow emergency routes may be towed

West Conshohocken

Here we go again… I am declaring a snow emergency for West Conshohocken effective tonight at 6pm through Thursday morning. Even side of the street again for parking on snow emergency routes. Everyone please be safe and let our pros in the public works department do what they do so well.

Side note – Dear West Conshohocken, can you please create a proper Facebook page for the municipality? It isn’t hard. I will even come show you how. Under the prior mayor, all the important messages were posted to the West Conshohocken Police Department Facebook page (and usually in all caps). That page hasn’t been posted to since January 12th. Why did that page post messages from the old mayor and not the new mayor? Why did the Borough send out an email today stating that the administration offices would be closed tomorrow, but made no mention of recycling being cancelled for tomorrow and that the mayor had declared a snow emergency (and what that means)?

Why does the website have the information about the administrative office being closed and the recycling being cancelled, but no mention of the snow emergency?

The message from the Mayor of West Conshohocken we shared above is from a post made in a West Conshy Facebook group. Again, why isn’t the police page posting this type of information as it had been in the past?

Not having a centralized location for information (and complete information at that) makes it hard to keep the public informed.

Get it together.
