Winter Weather Update

With the winter storm approaching this weekend, the Township is monitoring forecast developments and carefully planning plowing and emergency services efforts. At this time, Township staff would like residents to be aware of some of the efforts that will be put into effect between now and the end of the storm.

If the forecast continues to show the amount of snow that is currently estimated, the Township will declare a snow emergency. Residents will be notified via the Township Website (including emails and texts thorough E-Notify), Facebook Page, and LA Emergency Alerts.

To receive email and/or text updates through E-Notify, go to https://www.latwp.org/enotify/index.php, and signup for "Latest News", at the top of the list of options. The Township will continue to provide updates throughout the storm, and when the website is updated, you will receive notice by email/text.

Once the snow emergency is declared and residents are notified, cars parked along Township roads will be required to be parked off the street or road within 12 hours. The Township is offering residents the option to park their vehicles at the Lower Allen Township Municipal Services Center located at 2233 Gettysburg Road, if off-street parking is an issue.

The Public Works Department intends to plow for the duration of the storm, but some streets and roads may not have the full “curb-to-curb” effort completed in order to ensure that the plows can keep up and provide some level of passage for all streets and roads.

The Public Safety Department will be coordinating with the Public Works Department to ensure streets can be cleared ahead of emergency vehicles so that emergency personnel can provide the best care in the quickest time possible.
