Maplewood Streets Recovering After Major Winter Storm |
Community efforts and municipal services work to restore normalcy |
Maplewood residents are witnessing a gradual return to normalcy following the recent winter storm that blanketed the area with significant snowfall.
Snow removal operations have been in full swing since the storm's onset, with the Department of Public Works deploying crews to clear primary and secondary roads.
Residents are reminded to clear their sidewalks within 24 hours after snowfall ends to ensure pedestrian safety.
Additionally, it's crucial to keep fire hydrants accessible by removing snow from a three-foot radius around them.
Parking restrictions, which were implemented to facilitate efficient snow removal, have now been lifted.
Residents can resume on-street parking but are encouraged to do so responsibly to aid in the continued cleanup efforts.
The South Orange-Maplewood School District has announced a delayed opening schedule for Tuesday, January 27, to support safer travel and allow time for final building preparations.
Transportation services will also follow this adjusted schedule.
For specific school opening times, please refer to the district's official communications.
In South Orange, municipal facilities such as the Village Hall, the Parking Authority, and the Baird Center are set to reopen on Tuesday, January 27.
Residents are advised to check for any updates regarding operating hours or services.
While the storm has passed, residents should remain cautious of lingering icy patches on roads and sidewalks.
Staying informed through official township channels will provide the most accurate and up-to-date information as the community continues its recovery efforts. |
