Snow Emergency Routes released on Washington and Grand Streets; Others remain in effect

The Office of Emergency Management has released Grand Street and Washington Street for residential parking. All other snow emergency routes are still being enforced, and vehicles parked on these snow emergency routes are subject to towing. This is necessary to allow public works crews to continue clearing snow and ice from streets, for emergency vehicles to move throughout Hoboken, and for the safety and welfare of all residents.

The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) will continue to inform the public via Nixle, and the City and Public Safety social media accounts (see below), when the emergency snow routes have been plowed sufficiently, and additional restrictions are lifted.

Emergency snow routes in Hoboken are labeled with street signs that read “No Parking When Road Is Snow Covered.” A map and a list of emergency snow routes are available on the City’s website www.hobokennj.gov/snow .

The following routes remain in effect:  

• Fourth Street – South Side – River St. to Jackson St.  
• Willow Avenue West Side – Observer Hwy. to 11th St.  (County Road)    
• Third Street – North Side – Jackson St. to River St.
• Ninth Street – North Side – Jackson St. to Castle Point Ter.

Clear sidewalks & curb ramps; Do not shovel snow into streets; Inspectors out

The City of Hoboken would like to thank all residents and property owners who have cleared their property of snow and ice. City public works crews and contractors, along with Hudson County and the Hoboken Business Alliance, continue to work on public properties, as City inspectors continue to inspect. Those who don’t comply with City regulations face fines. Unshoveled or untreated property, can be reported by emailing the address to sanitationinspectors@hobokennj.gov.

Garage parking discount ends Tuesday  

Discounted garage parking for residential parking permit holders ends tomorrow, Tuesday, Jan. 27, at 4 p.m.

Anyone parked in Municipal Garage B, Garage D, or the Midtown Garage, which are at capacity, at the discounted $5 rate per 24-hour period, should remove their vehicle by 4 p.m., Tuesday. Those who do not will be charged the regular hourly rate for any time in the garage before 4 p.m. Saturday and after 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Use caution in extreme cold and icy conditions

The City’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) continues to urge residents to stay off the roads and avoid travel if possible. If walking, do so on sidewalks and stay out of the street.
