All Lower Merion Offices, Libraries Closed Thursday

The following was provided to Patch by Lower Merion Township:

Due to continued heavy snow, Lower Merion Township has issued a “Declaration of Emergency” lasting through 3 PM Friday, March 6th. All Township offices, libraries and community centers will be CLOSED on Thursday, March 5th.

For residents with alleyway or rear-yard trash and recycling collection, all containers must be moved street-side on Thursday for pick-up.

The emergency declaration alerts residents not to park in cul-de-sacs and on emergency snow routes. Residents are reminded to park on the odd sides of the street in 2015. If you have a driveway, please park there. There is no parking in a cul-de-sac until after plowing is complete. All residential and commercial sidewalks must be cleared 36 inches in width and within 24 hours of the end of each snowfall. If at all possible, please stay off roadways until they have been safely cleared. Do not push snow into the street from driveways or parking lots, as there will be increased enforcement on this issue.
