Norristown Neighborhoods Remain Unplowed

NORRISTOWN, PA -- In the wake of over two feet of snow getting dumped on the Norristown area, residents expressed frustration that many neighborhoods had not yet seen a plow.

Alleyways are typically not a priority for plows as they seek to clear the most frequently used roads first.

Several neighborhoods that had been plowed were still difficult to pass through Monday morning. Sharp turns and uphills posed the most serious problems, especially for average, non-4 wheel drive vehicles.

Some areas of the borough are much worse than others. One resident said that nothing in sight had been plowed.

“I have to say I am very upset with Norristown’s snow removal process. I’m am trying to have patience but when is enough enough? I see no street in sight that has been touched,” said Tiff Cam.

Even Main Street, which had been plowed, was in poor condition Monday morning in the

Crews said they were working as diligently as possible to remove the snow, but there is no timetable.

“Public Works and contractors will continue the clean up efforts,” the borough said. “We understand this process has been overwhelming to all, we continue to ask for your patience.”

The borough added that no parking tickets would be issued by the Norristown Parking Enforcement team through Wednesday, January 27.

Municipal offices as well as schools were closed in Norristown Monday.
