“The public works crews have been in the road since 3 AM this morning. They are doing a great job,” Hill said through Gallagher. “Please stay off the roads unless you have an emergency so they can clear the streets. Larger Township roads, through streets and the list of medical patients, are the first priority. Please be patient and stay safely at home. Thank you to our PW team working to keep the streets open and passable.”
