Lansford

Check facebook.com/lansfordpolice for updates on parking and snow removal.

Tuesday night, Wednesday morning: No parking on Water, Kline, Snyder and Front streets. Snow removal in the morning.

The next tentative steps are going to be all of the blocks with Angle parking as well as the very narrow portion of East Abbott Street.

The borough’s Public Works Dept will concentrate on the areas in town that are known problems due to the narrowness of the streets and the related parking design on those streets. These are: blocks with angle parking, narrow streets, hills and intersections.

The borough is bringing additional crews and equipment to accomplish much of this simultaneous. If things are going smoothly it is possible more streets could be added faster than expected.

Due to the extreme amount of snow received, and the need to get streets open and widened as quickly as possible, it will be necessary for the removal crews to make snow piles in various areas throughout the borough. Every effort will be made to make sure that these piles are done in the best areas possible. The piles will be removed as soon as possible.

Palmerton

Odd-even parking will continue through Wednesday. Residents should move vehicles to the odd side of the street tonight between 7-8 p.m.

There will be no trash or recycling collection this week due to the storm. The trash haulers will allow an additional 5 bags over the weekly limit next week to make up for this week’s missed collection. Recycling will be collected next week and thereafter will resume as listed on the schedule for biweekly collection.

Road restrictions lifted

As winter conditions subside, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has lifted vehicle restrictions and restored normal speed limits in the east central region of Pennsylvania.

Rush Township

Monday’s garbage and recycling will be collected Wednesday.

Friday’s garbage and recycling will be collected Saturday.

Schools

Jim Thorpe: Due to the inclement weather for the past two days and the remaining high winds, the Jim Thorpe Area School District will use a Flexible Instructional Day on Wednesday. A Flexible Instructional Day is very similar to what we did back in the Spring which does not involve “live” teaching and learning, just an expectation to complete assigned work by your teachers. Furthermore, the remaining weather conditions could result in power outages and loss of Wifi connections. While Wednesday will be counted as a school day towards the 180 days expected, the buildings will be closed.

Lastly, on Wednesday, lunch pickup will be available from 3:30-4:30 p.m. at the high school and the Penn Kidder Campus. Please note that 4 days of lunches are set to be distributed tomorrow.

Lehighton: virtual learning, staff working remotely.

Northern Lehigh: virtual day
