❄️🚜 Snow Recovery Update: New Bethlehem 1/28 🚜❄️

As cleanup continues across the Borough, here are the latest updates and ways you can help. Thanks for your patience. -Mayor Barrows ❤️

🧹 Snow Removal Services List:
The Borough is collecting names & phone numbers of individuals & businesses that offer snow removal services, especially to assist our elderly residents. 📞 Call 814.275.2003 📧 Email [email protected] We will share this list with residents seeking help.

🏫 School Update, Sidewalk Safety:
The Redbank Valley School District will operate on a 2 Hour Delay tomorrow, Thursday, January 29, 2026. 🚸 Please clean sidewalks as soon as possible for students walking to school. We understand contractor delays after this historic storm and truly appreciate your cooperation for student safety.

🚜 Borough Cleanup Progress
Snow removal along Broad Street and Wood Street (Route 28 & 66) is mostly complete. As of mid afternoon today, following garbage collection, Public Works and third party crews are now moving into additional borough streets, hauling snow from parking spaces and sidewalks to restore traffic flow and accessibility. ⏰ Crews will be working all day and most of the night, please be patient as this work continues.

🤝 Mutual Aid & Regional Support
The Office of the Mayor received calls today from neighboring communities and government officials offering assistance and support. We were also able to help several communities apply for funding to support their own snow removal and recovery operations. This mutual aid effort is a powerful example of neighbors helping neighbors.

Thank you for continuing to work together, show patience, and care for one another as we recover from this historic storm. 💙
