Key items in this update:
All vehicles parked on Bloomfield Street between Observer Highway and 14th Street MUST be moved by 6 p.m. Sunday night, Feb. 1, to allow for overnight snow removal.
Overnight snow removal operations will enable the City to clear more snow from parking lanes on more blocks with fewer traffic disruptions than just during daytime street cleaning hours.
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 from both ends of the street towards the center 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 Bloomfield Street throughout the night as snow removal operations occur. Hoboken Police Officers will be on site to assist with detours. Bloomfield Street will re-open on a rolling basis as each block is cleared of snow.
Overnight snow removal operations on Bloomfield Street are anticipated to end by 7 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 2.
Overnight snow removal schedule announced
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.:
Please note that this schedule is subject to change.
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.
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.
Washington Street loading zones to be cleared Feb. 1
The City will also continue to clear loading zones and fire hydrants along Washington Street starting on Sunday, Feb. 1, at 8 a.m. Crews will begin at Observer Highway and work north to 15th Street.
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.
