Malverne Mayor Warns Residents to Follow Village Code When Removing Snow

Mayor Patricia Norris-McDonald calls residents to urge them to clean up sidewalks and stop spraying snow in the streets.

Malverne residents received a phone call from a familiar voice around 4:30p.m. Tuesday. An automated recording of village Mayor Patricia Norris McDonald was on the other end, informing them of an additional sanitation pick-up and warning them to follow village codes regarding removing snow from their properties.

"All the roads have been plowed," McDonald said. "The will be carefully monitoring road conditions...but some residents are blowing snow into the roadway."

She explained via the recording that this action creates a dangerous condition for drivers and is a violation of the village code.
