The town of Georgetown activated its snow emergency plan.

Parking restrictions will apply to designated snow emergency routes, making it easier and more effective for equipment to clear snow from the streets.

The designated snow emergency routes are East Market Street, West Market Street, North Bedford Street, South Bedford Street, Bridgeville Road, East Pine Street, West Pine Street, North Race Street, South Race Street, North Front Street, South Front Street, East Laurel Street from North Bedford Street to North Race Street, West Laurel Street from North Bedford Street to North Front Street, Edward Street from North Bedford Street to North Front Street, West North Street from North Bedford Street to DuPont Highway (Route 113) and Albury Avenue from East Market Street to Cedar Street

Vehicles parked along these streets may be subject to towing if not removed by the owner. Residents are encouraged to avoid traveling during adverse weather conditions. Those who must travel are encouraged to use caution around snow removal equipment and personnel.

Town ordinance also states that the sidewalks be cleared within 24 hours after a snowfall. Residents with a fire hydrant near their property should take an extra minute or two to ensure that it is cleared and visible.
