Description
Before the snow begins to fall, the Township applies a brine solution to the roadway surface to prevent the formation of ice. As the snow begins to fall our Public Works Team then begins spreading Sodium Chloride (Road Salt). One snow has accumulated to approximately our Public Works Team will begin to plow the roadways, following specific routes that aim to clear emergency routes and high-priority roads first. For safety reasons, cul-de-sacs and other secondary roads are not plowed until all emergency routes and high-priority roads are passable. As always, the Township will do its very best to keep roadways as clear as possible, but we need your help!
When the first snowflakes begin to fall, please remember to:
• Remove vehicles from the roadway until the roadway is cleared. Vehicles parked on the roadway hamper snow removal operations, and vehicles parked on emergency routes may be towed.
• Wait until the roadway is cleared before shoveling your driveway, sidewalk and mailbox area. But if you must clear these areas sooner, please know Township trucks will likely throw snow back onto these areas when plowing the road.
• Refrain from shoveling snow into the roadway. Pushing snow from your driveway or sidewalk into the roadway creates a safety hazard and could cause an accident.
• Prepare your vehicle for winter driving. And if you are too nervous about driving on snow and ice, don’t drive. Share a ride with a neighbor or wait until the roadways are cleared before traveling.
Dover Township does not salt or plow State-owned roadways, private roadways and roadways not yet dedicated to the Township.
• Admire, Biesecker, Bigmount, Bull, Carlisle, Colonial, Davidsburg, East Canal, East Berlin, Harmony Grove, and West Canal are all State Roads - Please call PennDOT at (800) 349-7623
Dover Township would like to thank all residents for their patience and cooperation while we work to keep our roads safe during the winter season!
