Snow Emergency Remains In Jenkintown Borough

JENKINTOWN BOROUGH, PA — The borough is under a snow emergency until midnight on Monday.

Mayor Gabriel Lerman declared the snow emergency at 10 p.m. on Saturday before the blizzard hit the Philadelphia region on Sunday.

Residents with access to a driveway are asked to please park in it or park as close to the curb as possible if they do not.

Anyone in a snow emergency route should park their vehicles in a municipal lot, officials said.

The borough has made the municipal 'Leedom Street parking lot' (between Pioneer Fire Company and the VFW) available for residents on snow emergency routes during the snow emergency declaration to allow for the safe passage of plow trucks and emergency vehicles.

Here are some details about the snow emergency:

• Borough Hall: Administration Staff will be working remotely during the emergency. Borough Hall will be closed on Monday and reopen for business at 9 a.m. on Tuesday.
• Public Works: The Jenkintown Borough Public Works Department began preparing the storm response equipment on Friday. The crew will return to work through the duration of the storm, salting and plowing when needed in order to keep the roads clear for emergency vehicles and safe passage of the general public as needed.
• PECO: Customers experiencing any gas or electrical issues should contact PECO at 1-800-841-4141, peco.com, or PECO Smart Mobile On-the-Go, the company’s mobile enhanced website.

Anyone with questions or concerns should call Borough Hall at 215-885-0700 or contact the borough manager at glocke@jenkintownboro.com.
