Weekend Update - Valentine’s Day Edition
Dear Resident,
This has been a stretch of tough winter weather. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Department of Public Works, headed by Robert Miller, for their continued work before, during and after the storm. They pre-treat, plow and perform clean up, often throughout the night ensuring that our 200 miles of road ways are safe and passable.
I also want to acknowledge the residents who removed vehicles and basketball courts from the roadways in advance of the storm. Not only is it a Township Ordinance, doing so allows the plows to safely and quickly remove snow and keep our streets clear.
Monday, February 17-President’s Day. Town Hall and the Recycling Center are closed in observance. Please use on-line services and the 24/7 drop box. Marlboro Police Department is open 24/7 and can be reached at 732-36-0100. Emergencies dial 911.
