During a snow event, residents are asked to not park vehicles on residential streets until the street has been plowed. Parked vehicles slow down plow trucks and may block them completely from plowing the street. If possible, wait until the snow plows have made at least one path on the street before driving. Trash cans and other objects should be placed at least three feet behind the curb during snow events.

New dog licenses are due. The license year runs Jan. 1-Dec. 31. A license for an un-neutered or non-spayed dog is $8.45, and $6.45 for spayed or neutered dogs. Not having a license can result in a fine of $300, plus costs.

Make certain the dog wears a license on its collar so the animal control officer can return the dog if it becomes lost. Allegheny County also requires a dog license and applications are available at the Green Tree Municipal building, 10 W. Manilla Avenue.
