(WNY News Now) Dunkirk, NY Due to worsening road conditions brought on by heavy weather, the City of Dunkirk Police Department has imposed a travel ban with immediate effect. The prohibition, which was put into effect in cooperation with the Fire Department, Department of Public Works, and Mayor’s Office, is in effect until further notice.
Only vital employees who deliver vital services in public health, safety, and infrastructure are allowed to travel. Officials stress how crucial it is to restrict non-essential movement so that emergency personnel can efficiently handle the crisis.
Crucial reminders:
Keeping cars off the road will make it easier to plough the snow and guarantee that emergency vehicles can safely enter the streets.
with order to facilitate emergency responders’ access and aid with snow removal activities, residents are urged to abide by alternate parking laws. By 5:00 PM, all vehicles must be moved to the opposite side.
It is recommended that residents remain indoors, keep an eye out for updates, and be ready for perhaps prolonged restrictions.
