Who is responsible for clearing alleys?
This is a source of great confusion and concern for residents. Alleyways belong to the abutting property owner and as such are the responsibility of property owners to clear. However, in major storms or when possible, the Borough assists homeowners in plowing alleys. This is a courtesy and is not mandated by Ordinance, Resolution or directive of Council.
