FORTY FORT — Mayor Andy Tuzinski Thursday announced that due to the snowstorm, a parking ban will be instituted in the Borough of Forty Fort.

The parking ban will be in effect from 4 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 18, until 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19.

Parking will be prohibited along the following thoroughfares in the Borough of Forty Fort:

Wyoming Avenue, Welles Street, River Street (from Rutter Avenue to Wyoming Avenue), Slocum Street, Shoemaker Street, Owen Street, Dennison Street and the entire length of Murray Street in anticipation of the winter storm.

After 5 p.m. Friday evening, all restrictions will end, and residents may park as they normally do, the mayor said.

Residents are asked to make every effort to remove vehicles from side streets and utilize their driveways as much as possible.

Residents are also asked to help emergency services personnel by assisting in clearing a three-foot circle around any fire hydrants near their home.

As a significant amount of snow is anticipated, Tuzinski said it is vitally important that as many vehicles as possible be kept off of the streets in the borough. Neighbors who have spare driveway space are asked to share that space with their neighbors, if possible, in order to get cars off of the streets.

Residents are also reminded that shoveling or blowing snow into the roadway is strictly prohibited. Residents are also asked to make every effort not to deposit snow onto tree lawns as it is prohibited by ordinance and has the potential to cause roadway passage restrictions.

Questions may be directed to Mayor Andy Tuzinski at 570-760-1255.
