Mayor Rohan Hepkins has officially declared a Snow Emergency, and the Police Department would like to share the following important parking information with our community.

Snow Emergency Parking Update: The usual requirements to move vehicles on specific days and during certain hours will be suspended. Residents do not need to move their vehicles for scheduled parking restrictions while the suspension is in effect. All other parking regulations remain in effect. This includes restrictions related to fire hydrants, intersections, driveways, handicap spaces, posted time limits, and other posted signage. Violations will continue to be enforced.

Vehicles parked on designated Snow Emergency Routes must be moved by 4 PM Sunday. Any vehicle left on a Snow Emergency Route is subject to ticketing and may be towed without further notice to ensure roadways remain clear for plowing and emergency vehicles. The three municipal parking lots are open and available at no cost. Residents are encouraged to use these lots if additional parking options are needed during the snow event.

Additional Reminders: It is against the law to throw, shovel, or plow snow into the street. Doing so creates hazardous driving conditions and obstructs snow removal operations. Saving parking spaces on public streets with chairs, bags, trash cans, or any other items is prohibited under state law. Such items may be removed, and violations may result in enforcement action. Our priority is to ensure that roads remain accessible for snow removal operations and emergency response vehicles. We appreciate your cooperation in helping keep our community safe and passable during this weather event.

Stay safe and allow extra time for travel as crews continue snow removal operations throughout the week.

Snow Emergency Declaration for Yeadon Borough

February 22, 2026

Due to the impending snow storm forecasted, a Snow Emergency Declaration is hereby in effect for Yeadon Borough from 4:00 pm on Sunday, February 22, 2026 through 8:00 am Tuesday, February 24, 2026.

During this specified time period, no parking is allowed on any snow emergency street (see the list of streets below). Any car found parked on these streets during this state of emergency is subject to towing or ticketing.

The purpose of this declaration is to ensure clear access to major streets for emergency vehicles responding to emergencies when inclement weather compromises passability.

Cars are to be parked on other accessible streets. In order to ease this transition, the municipal parking lots located at Church Lane & Guenther Avenue, Myra Avenue & Church Lane, and Holly & Baily Roads will also be made available for additional parking during this time period.

Residents are also asked to exercise caution during this emergency, stay safe, and avoid unnecessary travel. Also please continuously check on neighbors and loved ones during this period…and make sure your cell phones are fully chaged at all times to be prepared for any possible power outages.

Should there be any changes to this declaration, another notice will be disseminated to update residents.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation…and please be safe !
