Veterans Day processional canceled lunch will continue as planned

The American Legion has announced that due to snowy conditions, it has canceled the Veterans Day processional scheduled for this morning. A luncheon for veterans will still be held at the American Legion Post 675, 19 W. Washington Street. Please exercise caution and plan extra time on the roads if you plan to attend.

Plowing

Crews are out plowing roads this morning. Residents are encouraged to stay off the roads if possible and to give plow trucks extra space on the roadways.

Parking

Parking is prohibited on streets after 1 inch of snowfall in the downtown and 2 inches of snowfall throughout the rest of the Village to allow plows to get through. Move your car to avoid tickets or tow. Parking is allowed again once streets are clear from curb to curb.

Shoveling

When you are able, please clear sidewalks and dig out hydrants to ensure that fire crews can access them in an emergency. Remember that shoveling or blowing snow into the street is prohibited. Plows typically make multiple passes during and after the snowfall in order to clear streets to the curb. If you prefer to shovel only once, you may wish to wait until streets are cleared curb to curb.

Leaf collection

Free curbside leaf collection is suspended until further notice.
