Property Owner’s Responsibility During Snow Removal Process

As the Borough continues to dig out from the weekend’s storm, we would like to remind ALL property owners, including residential and commercial properties, that they are responsible for clearing their sidewalks.

Because of the wall of snow between the sidewalks and the streets, it can take just one property owner with uncleared sidewalks to make the entire block’s sidewalks unusable.  We do NOT want pedestrians forced into the streets.

Jenkintown ordinance number 76-15 requires sidewalks cleared within 10 hours of the end of a snowstorm. Jenkintown Police are enforcing this regulation vigorously.

This also includes icy sidewalks due to overnight melting/refreezing over the next few days.

Please attend to your sidewalks as soon as possible..

Thank you for your patience and please use caution in traveling for the next few days.
