SNOW BAN

Weatherly Borough shall place the Snow Ban in effect for whenever an appreciable amount of snow falls or is predicted. At this time, the information will be announced on the Swift reach Phone System and posted on both the Weatherly Borough and Weatherly Borough Police websites and Facebook pages.

Example;

Weatherly Borough is placing the Snow Ban in effect for 1/23/2024 at 8pm due to the predicted winter storm. All Vehicles must be moved by 8pm or they will be ticketed and/or towed. All vehicles should be removed from the posted Snow Ban side of the street and remain there until the Snow Ban is Lifted or Reversed

REVERSE SNOW BAN

When the storm has passed and the Weatherly Borough Road Crew determines that they have cleared the Snow Ban side of the streets and roads, they may then place the Reverse Snow Ban in effect.

Example;

 Weatherly Borough is now placing the Reverse Snow Ban in effect for 1/24/2024 at 10am, all vehicles must be moved from the Non-Snow Ban side of the street by 10am or they will be ticketed and/or towed. All vehicles should be moved to the Posted Snow Ban side of the street and remain there until the Snow Ban is Lifted.

CANCELLATION or LIFTING of SNOW BAN

 When the predicted storm fails to produce conditions warranting snow or ice removal or the Weatherly Borough Road Department determines that Snow Ban is no longer needed to accomplish its mission of keeping the streets clear, the snow ban will be cancelled or lifted. Example; Weatherly Borough is now Lifting the Snow Ban and regular parking may resume.

WE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE CURRENT STATE OF THE PARK. THE BOROUGH HAD RECEIVED A GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $250,000.00 FROM DCNR. WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR UPGRADES TO THE PARK THAT INCLUDE AN ADDITIONAL BASKETBALL COURT AND TWO PICKLEBALL COURTS WITH A COURTYARD AND SITTING AREA. THE BANDSHELL AREA WILL BE TERRACED AND ASPHALTED TO ACCOMMODATE ADA.

IN THE MAIN AREA OF THE PARK ANY WALKWAY THAT IS NOT PAVED WILL BE PAVED AND THE SITTING AREA OF THE BANDSHELL WILL BE TERRACED TO PROVIDE ADA SEATING. THE BENCHES WILL HAVE NEW ENGINEERED WOOD INSTALLED ON THEM. WATER LINES HAVE BEEN RUN TO EACH OF THE SHELTERS TO ALLOW THE SHELTERS TO BE PRESSURE WASHED. THERE IS ALSO A WATER LINE RUN TO THE OLD BASKETBALL COURT SO THAT THE OLD AND NEW COURTS CAN BE CLEANED.

WE HAD TO DO SOME OF THE EXCAVATION WORK NOW TO INSTALL THE WATER LINES AND TO DO SOME PRELIMINARY WORK PRIOR TO THE CONTRACT WORK BEING DONE.

THIS GRANT IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER DCNR GRANT THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED. THIS GRANT REQUIRED CONSIDERABLY MORE PAPERWORK, AND PRIOR APPROVAL ON EACH STEP MUST BE APPROVED BY DCNR TO MOVE FORWARD. WE WERE TOLD BY DCNR THAT IT WOULD TAKE OVER A YEAR OF PAPERWORK BECAUSE IT WAS FROM A FEDERAL SOURCE AND THAT WAS TRUE.

WE APOLOGIZE IF THE PARK DOES NOT LOOK ITS BEST NOW, BUT STARTING IN SPRING OF 2025 THE CONTRACT WORK WILL BEGIN AND YOU WILL HAVE AN EVEN BETTER PARK THAN BEFORE. WE ASK YOU TO BE PATIENT AND UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS AND IS A LOT OF WORK AND PLANNING IN THIS PROJECT AND WE BELIEVE YOU WILL ENJOY THE OUTCOME FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.

A NEW ADDITION THAT WILL COMPLEMENT THE PARK INCLUDE TWO BOCCHI BALL COURTS LOCATED ON THE BASEBALL FIELD JUST BEHIND WHERE THE BASKETBALL COURT WILL BE BUILT. THEY ARE FINISHED AND READY TO BE USED. THE RULES ARE POSTED AT THE COURTS JUST TO MAKE IT EASIER TO PLAY FOR THE FIRST TIME.

THE “PAY TO FISH” WILL BE COMING SOON. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THE BUILDING TO HOUSE THE EQUIPMENT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO OPEN UP THIS NEW FEATURE AT THE PARK. THIS NEW VENUE ALSO REQUIRED A LOT OF PLANNING TO GET IT UP AND RUNNING. WE BELIEVE THAT IT WILL PROVIDE EVERYONE WITH AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE.
