In the face of a formidable snowfall, Springfield Township has issued guidance to residents on how they can assist with the snow removal process. A post from Springfield Township's official social media suggests that shoveling snow to the right side of driveways could aid in preventing reburial once plows pass by. "Doing this helps prevent snow from being pushed back into your driveway when the plow comes through," the township conveyed in their message to the community.
Recognizing the impending task of clearing neighborhood streets post-storm, the township appealed to its residents, asking for their patience with the inevitable inconveniences. The crews responsible for moving a lot of snow will be hard at work, especially in challenging areas like cul-de-sacs. Springfield Township's announcement noted, "It will be difficult to avoid inconveniencing folks in some areas," acknowledging the efforts of their crews who are worn out yet remain committed.
Furthermore, residents have been reminded that despite early shoveling efforts, "there's a good chance snow will be pushed back into your driveway." In a bid to manage expectations, the township has urged citizens to refrain from reporting instances where their driveways have been "plowed in," as the focus will be on clearing the streets thoroughly before any detailed cleanup can occur. "Our crews will be focused on clearing streets all day tomorrow," Springfield Township stated, ensuring that more meticulous work will follow subsequently.
In spirit of the community's endurance, the township's statement not only sought to manage expectations but also extend gratitude for the unwavering support of its residents. "Thank you, as always, for your patience, support, and understanding," addressed the dedicated workers who, according to the Springfield Township, are out there "showing up, and committed to getting everyone taken care of." With an eye towards a record-breaking snowfall, the dialogue between Springfield officials and residents continues to navigate the aftermath of winter's relentless touch.
