Manhattan, IL – Residents in Manhattan are being reminded to move their vehicles off the streets tonight as snow is expected to begin falling across the area. According to the Village of Manhattan Police Department, public works crews will be out “unleashed with plows, salt, and unmatched determination” to keep roads clear during the overnight hours.
Officials say snow is expected to start late tonight and continue into early Friday morning, prompting full street-clearing operations. To ensure plows can work efficiently, residents are asked not to park on the streets during snow accumulation periods.
“Please don’t park on the street during snow accumulation,” the department posted on social media Thursday. “We’d really rather not knock on your door at 3 a.m. like, ‘Heyyy, remember that rule?’”
The reminder comes as temperatures are forecast to dip below freezing, with potential slick spots expected through the morning commute. Motorists are urged to allow extra time for travel and give plow trucks plenty of space on the road.
For the latest updates, residents can monitor the Village of Manhattan Police Department’s Facebook page and local alerts through Will County emergency channels.
