Snow and Ice Control
There are approximately 107 miles of Township roadway. We also perform snow and ice control on 12.5 miles of state owned roads. The Township has 13 trucks with material (salt and anti skid) spreaders and plows. We also have an additional 4 trucks with plows, 2 backhoes and one front end loader. Depending upon the storm, we lease additional equipment to assist our forces in clearing the roads for which we are responsible.
Public Works personnel monitor roadway conditions during normal daylight and evening hours. After late evening and on weekends, we are kept informed by Police Department personnel of the conditions and/or the need for some type of treatment. We also have ongoing communication with the Tredyffrin/Easttown School District regarding Tredyffrin road conditions.
The Township has established primary roadways in each of our nine snow and ice routes that are done first to get the majority of residents moving. Our crews proceed to address less traveled roadways and cul-de-sacs. Cul-de-sacs are typically done last due to the limited amount of traffic and because they normally take longer to clear.
Parking
Parking in the street is prohibited during snow events from the beginning of the accumulation until the roadway is cleared. It makes it difficult for our plow trucks to maneuver and prevents us from plowing curb to curb. The Police Department may issue parking tickets to illegally parked vehicles and will tow vehicles left abandoned on the roadway or parked in such a manner as to create a hazard.
Parking permits are available for residents with steep driveways and are only issued on a case-by-case basis. Call (610) 644-1400 or email permits@tredyffrin.org to apply for a snow parking permit.
The following streets or parts thereof are hereby designated as snow emergency routes:
- King of Prussia Road - Full length of road
- Radnor Road - Full length of road
Pushing or throwing snow into the street is prohibited as well as placing obstacles in the street to block plows or some parking spaces. If it snows on your trash day, trash bags and cans should be left at the end of the driveway behind the curb.
Sidewalks
Sidewalks must be cleared at least twenty-four (24) inches wide within thirty (30) hours of the end of precipitation.
Questions should be directed to publicworks@tredyffrin.org or 610-408-3620.
