Subject: Special Parking Notices Related to Special Snow Conditions

In anticipation of a heavy snowfall forecasted for the Bloomsburg area, the Bloomsburg Police Department is asking everyone who resides in Bloomsburg to monitor our web page and social media pages for information related to snow removal.  Unnecessary travel during a heavy snow fall is discouraged.  During an actual snow event, Public Works will be working to keep roadways passable.

After a large snow fall, snow removal will be a priority of the Public Works Department.  If mass snow removal from public streets and parking lots is required the Bloomsburg Police Department will post notices 12 hours in advance of a snow removal operation in each location.  These notices will be posted on the Town and Police Department web and social media pages.  Failure to remove vehicles within 12 hours of the notice could result in ticketing and towing of the offending vehicles.

Bloomsburg residents are reminded the week of December 20, 2020 is a street maintenance week and residents are required to follow posted regulatory signs related to days and times when parking is prohibited during that week.
