SNOW AND ICE CONTROL
TEAMWORK
"No two snowflakes are the same, so isn't it inspiring the way they
work together on joint projects - such as blockading a highway?"
-- taken from AAA Lancaster Motorist--
Elizabeth Township is responsible for snow removal on Township roads only. The Township also has a contract with PA DOT and is responsible for snow and ice control on East Brubaker Valley Road, which is a State road.
The road crew makes every effort to clear roadways as quickly as possible during inclement weather. It is the intention of Elizabeth Township to meet the needs of residents and travelers by providing the safest possible road conditions during snow and ice events.
*****
It will be the goal of the road crew to open all roads initially and when that has been accomplished, the roads will be widened. Main roads will be given priority snow removal attention, followed by roads in subdivisions.
Residents can assist the Township by considering the following suggestions:
 |
Park in driveways, if possible, not in the road right-of way. |
|
Do not park in cul-de-sacs. Residents living along cul-de-sacs are requested to place markers along the edge of the roadway. |
|
If possible, wait until the road is plowed before clearing your driveway. |
|
Do not shovel snow into the road. |
|
Be alert for Township or State vehicles salting or plowing; attempt to maintain a reasonable distance from snow removal vehicles. |
PARENTS: Please keep children from playing in or around snow banks that are along the edge of the roadway or shoulder of the road. Visibility is poor during a snow storm and accidents can happen in a split second.
Elizabeth Township has Voice Mail. Please call 717-626-4302 to report poor road conditions.
