Gloucester City Highway Dept., Outstanding Job!

 Dear Gloucester City Government,

 To whom this may concern…

\"6a00d8341bf7d953ef011570df48d6970c-800wi\" I am writing you today to advise you of the outstanding job the person who did the snow removal for Meadowbrook Run development did. I woke up this morning to over twelve inches of snow to find the snow removed all the way to the curb line with him using the front loader to pile it nicely instead of only one small path in the middle of the street like last year that kept me digging out my curb line for hours. 


This sort of work ethic not only needs to be recognized it should be awarded. Public works employees are the unsung cog of the wheel that keeps our communities running, because without them the majority of our communities would slip easily into disarray.

I hope upper management receives this email and lets my snow removal crew know how important they are to your organization and my community, because dedication to their job like they demonstrated today from the snow removers can not be taught, but hopefully a job well done can be recognized by all.
 
Thank you,

Derek Timm

Gloucester City, NJ 08030

Philadelphia Snow Emergency Still in Effect

December 27, 2010

PHILADELPHIA, PA –With the winter storm winding down, Mayor Michael A. Nutter, \"Snow8\" has announced that the City’s Emergency Operations Center has been deactivated at 8:00 a.m. today. However, the Snow Emergency is still in effect to allow Streets Department crews sufficient time for salting and plowing operations. Towing of vehicles from Snow Emergency Routes is still underway. If your car is towed, call Philly 3-1-1 for its location. Do NOT call 911.

Streets Commissioner Clarena I. W. Tolson asks residents to continue to follow regulations so crews can continue to safely and effectively remove snow from the roadways:

Park vehicles at least 20 feet from the corner, as required by law. Cars parked too close to the corner limit our ability to salt and plow roads.
It is dangerous and illegal to shovel or plow snow into the street. Placing snow in the street after it has been cleared will create dangerous icy patches.
Please place snow in a safe place on your property so that snow mounds do not obstruct the cleared pathway.
Drive with caution as black ice is expected to form on the roadways.
Clear a sidewalk path at least 36\” wide within 6 hours of the end of the storm.
Clear snow from neighborhood sewer drains to allow melting snow to drain.
Stay tuned to local media for updates.
Check on sick and elderly neighbors.

Streets Department crews will continue to focus their efforts on treating primary, secondary, hilly residential streets and other residential streets.

The Code Blue remains in effect to provide additional support to the homeless. If you see a homeless person in need of assistance, please call the Homeless Outreach Coordination Center at 215-232-1984.

Mayor Nutter Signs Bill Increasing Finds for Selling Tobacco Products to Kids

December 24, 2010

Philadelphia, December 23, 2010- Mayor Nutter signed a new bill which increases the penalty for merchants who illegally sell tobacco to youth from $100 to $250. The new bill also provides Municipal Courts discretion to assess a minimum fine of $300 to a maximum of $2,000 for merchants who default on the original $250 fine. Mayor Nutter also detailed the City’s new campaign to encourage smokers to kick the habit.

Bill 100634, which was sponsored by Councilwoman Marian Tasco and approved by a 15-0 City Council vote, requires merchants who violate the new City Ordinance to attend one-on-one information sessions that will provide tips on checking identification and how to refuse sales to minors. The Ordinance will also provide the City authority to close a business for 48 hours if that merchant sells tobacco to a minor three times in two years. The City may assess on-the-spot penalties to violating merchants and will post the names of businesses that are cited for illegal tobacco sales to minors on the Department of Public Health’s website.
