It’s not officially winter yet, and this weekend, Jackson Township was hit with its first major snow storm of the 2025 winter season. Over 8 inches of snow fell in some parts of town as temperatures dipped into the 20s overnight on Saturday and into Sunday morning.
By the end of the day on Sunday plows had cleared all of the township’s roads, making it possible for residents to get to work safely on Monday morning.
Today, Jackson Township residents are expressing widespread appreciation for the Township’s quick response and cleanup, which was started early Saturday morning by the Department of Public Works.
Under the leadership of Mayor Jennifer L. Kuhn, the Township activated its snow response earlier than ever before, to ensure the roads remained clear and safe for residents.
Department of Public Works employees began staging equipment as early as 2:30 a.m., with plows and salters deployed onto roadways by 3:00 a.m.—a proactive approach aligned with, and in some cases exceeding, neighboring municipalities.
“We took this storm very seriously, and we were prepared,” said Mayor Kuhn. “For a storm of this magnitude, the cleanup was historic, and the results speak for themselves.”
The operation included additional crews, extra salt trucks, and expanded contractor support to ensure Township roads were treated and cleared as quickly and safely as possible.
Residents are encouraged to contact the Department of Public Works (DPW) if they believe any roadway still require more attention.
Mayor Kuhn extended special thanks to DPW Superintendent Shawn Bolinsky for his leadership, as well as the entire DPW staff, other municipal employees, and the Township’s snow contractors.
“These men and women began work at 3:00 a.m. and labored throughout the day and night to ensure our roads were safe for travel,” Mayor Kuhn said. “Their dedication, professionalism, and teamwork made this operation a success, and the Township is deeply grateful for their outstanding service.”
Jackson Township Council President Mordechai Burnstein said the response by the township was orderly, methodical, and organized and thanked Mayor Kuhn for a response he says has been better than the township has seen in a very long time, under the previous leadership.
“I cannot thank Mayor Kuhn and the administration, DPW, and our contractors enough for their hard work and long hours put in,” Council President Burnstein said. “The roads were cleared by Sunday night and today, the streets were busy with people driving to work, school, and wherever else they had to get to today. It’s a great accomplishment. In the past, storms like this often shut us down for a whole day sometimes because roads were missed, sometimes, entire neighborhoods. Our town workers didn’t go home until the job was finished this time.”
Throughout the process, senior members of the Jackson Council and the Mayor and her administration were on-site and available to both workers and residents to ensure a safe and efficient operation and to make important decisions throughout the morning and day.
