•No parking on Township Roads are permitted. If you are parked on a public street you will be ticketed and towed. If you usually park your vehicle on a township roadway, please plan ahead and speak to friends or family with driveway space so you can move your vehicle prior to the storm.If you have an issue parking off the roadway, please move your vehicles to any commuter lot, park and ride or the public library parking lots.

Again, we ask you to please stay off the roadways tomorrow. You may think you can make it to your destination, but if you fail and get into a motor vehicle crash or become disabled, then you put the first responders in jeopardy who have to come assist you.
