Services

In response to the recent snowstorm, the Yeadon Borough Public Works Department has been working tirelessly to ensure the safety and accessibility of our streets.

Over the course of the storm, five employees worked a combined total of 18 hours of overtime to clear snow and treat our roadways. We used over 49 tons of salt to help melt the snow and prevent ice buildup.

However, with the extreme temperatures we’ve experienced in the Northeast corridor, we are seeing an ongoing challenge. As the sun melts the snow during the day, the temperatures drop sharply at night, causing water to refreeze and creating icy conditions on the roads. This is a common issue in our region and is affecting not only Yeadon, but surrounding communities as well.

We want to assure you that we are continuing to monitor the situation closely. Our team remains ready to respond as necessary to keep our streets safe. Please drive cautiously and stay tuned for further updates.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Public Works Department
Yeadon Borough

With winter weather upon us, the Borough of Yeadon would like to remind residents of the need for removal of snow and ice from exterior property areas as outlined in Borough Code.

Please see the ordinance below for complete details:

Ordinance 220-16, O: Exterior Property Areas

Snow and ice removal

• All owners of buildings or land shall be responsible for the removal of any snow and ice as follows:
• The owner of any property that abuts any sidewalks on a public highway or common alley shall remove all snow from such sidewalks within 24 hours after the final snowfall.
• Snow shall be removed from all sidewalks and walking surface to provide a pathway of at least 36 inches.
• The owner of any property that abuts any sidewalks on a public highway or common alley shall not permit ice, upon which it is dangerous to travel, to remain on such sidewalk.
• No owner shall permit snow or ice to conceal any fire hydrant, or other fire department connections located on their property.
• No owner shall permit snow or ice to remain on any fire department access road located on their property.
• No person shall shovel, plow or move snow out into the public way after it has been plowed, moved or removed, unless authorized by the Borough.

Yeadon Borough Administrative Offices will be closed on Monday, January 6th, due to weather conditions.

The Delaware County Health Department’s (DCHD) Mosquito-Borne Disease Control Program will conduct an Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) mosquito adulticide spray in sections of Upper Darby Township, Lansdowne Borough, Yeadon Borough and Darby Borough on 8/1/24. Residential and recreational areas within the treatment zone will be treated to control adult mosquitoes. This is a result of high trap counts and the identification of positive mosquito pools containing West Nile Virus in the area.

Treatment will take place during the evening of 8/1/24, starting at approximately 8:00 pm and concluding by 11:00 pm if weather and environmental conditions remain suitable for the operation. In the event of weather or other unexpected delays, a rain date is scheduled for 8/5/24.

In Yeadon Borough, the area to be sprayed is mainly concentrated around Holy Cross Cemetery, as shown in the map below and on page 2 of the press release.
