While we understand the snow has not yet accumulated, the Public Works Team is hard at work treating the streets to prepare. Vehicles are mandated to be removed from the streets by 2:00pm today, Sunday February 22, 2026. All vehicles will be towed if not removed.
Vehicles must remain off the streets and parking prohibitions remain in effect until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and until such time that parking will not interfere with plowing efforts. Under the snow conditions, you may park your vehicle on your lawn.
Off-street parking is available at Borough lots if needed: Joseph E. Robertson Park & Veterans Tribute Park (Allaire Road), Bicentennial Park (Ocean Road), Cornelius V. Kelly Community Center (Ocean Road) and the dead-end of Passaic Avenue behind the school field.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

This weekend’s storm is shaping up to be significant. While forecasts can still shift, current projections show snow beginning late Saturday night into early Sunday and continuing through much of Sunday. Snowfall rates may start around a half inch per hour and could increase to near an inch per hour at times.
To keep roads passable and safe, our Department of Public Works team will be working throughout the weekend. During a storm of this intensity, plowing has to be continuous, meaning crews must keep moving while the snow is falling to prevent roads from becoming impassable.
For plows to do their job, all vehicles must be off the streets before snowfall begins. Any vehicle left parked on the roadway will be towed in accordance with borough ordinance.
This is not about a minor inconvenience. With the level of accumulation expected, cars parked on the street significantly delay plowing and create unsafe conditions for residents, DPW crews, police, and emergency responders.
Please do not leave vehicles on the roadway overnight Saturday. We will continue sharing reminders over the next few days, and we ask everyone not only to comply, but also to help spread the word to neighbors, friends, and family.
Thank you for your cooperation and for supporting our DPW, Police Department, and emergency services as we prepare for and respond to this storm.
-Mayor Campion
