City Manager’s Office                            P.O. Box 228 · Englewood, N.J. 07631 · (201) 871-6637 · Fax (201) 567-3678

January 18, 2024

A winter weather advisory is in effect from 7am until 7pm tomorrow, Friday, January 19, 2024. Snow showers are expected to start at 6am with total snow accumulations of 2 to 3 inches. Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions will impact the Friday afternoon commute. Slow down and use caution while traveling. 

If you are able to park in your driveway, please do so to assist in the street cleaning process. Street parking will make it extremely difficult for plows to maneuver through streets due to accumulation.

We encourage everyone to stay off the roads to allow public works to properly clear the roadways. 

During the snowfall, the Police and Public Works Departments will be working to enforce snow parking restrictions as per City Ordinance § 25-21 Parking during Snow Accumulation. 

The following streets are not to be parked on while streets are snow covered:

Grand Avenue                                                                                  Tenafly Road

For a detailed list of streets and parking restrictions visit the following: http://www.ecode360.com/documents/EN2705/EN2705-025m%20Sched%20XIII.pdf 

The City will offer parking in Liberty School Parking Lot, Mackay Park parking lot on the William Street and Veteran’s Lot.

These parking lots will be available to residents with the understanding that once you park, the lot will not be cleared until the primary roadways are properly addressed.

Please do not place any garbage cans in the roadway because it will prevent Public Works from properly plowing the street. Tuesday’s garbage pick-up is still going forward, please place cans on the curb. 

The Police Department will ensure that the ordinance is enforced which may be subject tickets, tows and/or fines.

For your safety, The Fire Department would like anyone with property on or adjacent to a fire-hydrant to please assist by shoveling around the hydrant to insure access in case of emergency.
