Key items in this update:
All vehicles parked on Jackson Street between Newark Street and Ninth Street AND Harrison Street between Newark Street and Fourth Street MUST be moved by 6 p.m. tonight, Feb. 2, to allow for overnight snow removal.
Overnight snow removal operations will enable the City to supplement daytime snow removal, clearing more snow from curbside lanes on more blocks with fewer traffic disruptions.
Temporary No Parking signs have been posted, and those who do not move their vehicles may be subject to ticketing and towing. Discounted garage parking is available (see details below).
Public Works crews and contractors will work north, starting first at Jackson and Newark Streets, before moving to Harrison and Fourth Streets and proceeding south on Harrison Street to clear and transport snow from the parking lanes to the City’s stockpile locations as efficiently as possible.
Drivers are advised to anticipate intermittent rolling closures of Jackson and Harrison Streets throughout the night as snow removal operations occur. Hoboken Police Officers will be on site to assist with detours.
Both streets will re-open on a rolling basis as each block is cleared of snow, allowing cars to repark on street as soon as the block is cleared.
Overnight snow removal operations are anticipated to end by 7 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 3.
Snow removal operations involve large heavy equipment, including plows, payloaders, and dump trucks, which will cause noise. We apologize in advance for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as crews work to clear the parking lanes of snow.
Move your car during street cleaning hours
Alternate side parking (street cleaning) has resumed for snow plowing operations of curbside lanes.
Please note, plowing operations of a curbside lane take significantly longer than street cleaning operations, and it is likely that not all street segments will be plowed during their allotted 1-hour window of time. The Division of Public Works will return to any unplowed streets during their next scheduled street cleaning to plow the curbside lane.
Community members should dig out and move their vehicles to avoid impeding snow removal operations and being subject to a fine. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Hudson County will also conduct snow removal operations during street cleaning hours on the streets they own and maintain, including Park Avenue, Garden Street, Hudson Street, Observer Highway, and Willow Avenue.

Review the overnight snow removal schedule
The following is the overnight snow removal schedule for the week of Feb. 2, between the hours of 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. All vehicles must be removed starting at 6 p.m.:
Please note that this schedule is subject to change.
Discount parking available
As a reminder, Resident On-Street Parking Permit holders can park in Municipal Garage B (28 Second St.) and the Midtown Garage (371 Fourth St.) at the discounted overnight rate of $6 between the hours of 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. Please note, garage parking is first come, first served.
Keep travel lanes clear; Report untreated property
As residents shovel out their vehicles, please do not shovel snow onto the sidewalk or back into the streets.
The City and Office of Emergency Management (OEM) also remind drivers to park only in legal parking spaces, as close to the curb as possible, and ask all residents to keep travel lanes, corners, and crosswalks clear of parked and double-parked cars. This will allow first responders and emergency services to operate safely. Vehicles parked illegally, including those blocking the roadway or pedestrian areas, are subject to ticketing and towing.
Property owners are responsible for clearing snow and ice from the sidewalks, curb cuts, and curb ramps adjacent to their property. Property owners who do not do so are subject to fines between $250 and $2,000 if they do not do so.
Those who wish to report any unshoveled or untreated properties, can email sanitationinspectors@hobokennj.gov.
