The City of Bethlehem's snow removal FAQ document outlines the city's winter storm response procedures and resident responsibilities. The Director of Public Works, Streets Superintendent, and Police Chief recommend snow emergency declarations to the Mayor; once declared, residents have four hours to remove vehicles from streets. The city pre-treats streets within 48 hours of a storm's start, applies road salt to main streets during storms, and plows main routes first, followed by secondary residential areas and smaller streets. Property owners must remove snow and ice from sidewalks within 24 hours of snowfall, with a minimum cleared width of 3 feet, and are responsible for clearing adjacent handicapped ramps. Shoveling snow into public streets is prohibited and subject to police citations; snow plow damage claims should be reported to the City Law Bureau at 610-865-7011, and sidewalk snow removal questions can be directed to the Engineering Bureau at 610-865-7063.
