Winter Weather Reminder
Due to the upcoming winter weather, the Borough of State College would like to encourage the community to move vehicles off the streets where possible to allow plow crews to safely and effectively clear roads. Please allow crews time to clear streets and walkways and use caution if you must go out.
The Borough of State College has a snow/ice ordinance that takes effect 24 hours after a snow event ends. This means snow and ice must be removed from the full length and width of public sidewalks and handicap-accessible ramps. Property owners are also responsible for maintaining a clear sidewalk and handicap-accessible ramps. Please do not push or blow snow back into the street at any time. For more information, please call (814) 234-7191.
