Princeton Today: Snow Removal Continues

Good morning on this cloudy Wednesday. The sun is supposed to come out by noon, and the temperature will rise to about 39 degrees today, turning more snow into slush.

Public works crews are continuing snow removal efforts today. Crews were out early plowing snow from downtown streets and hauling it away. Yesterday, Bank Street was closed so the snow could be cleared. Early this morning, snow mounds were cleared from Spring Street.

Central Jersey Waste will pick up trash from neighborhoods the trucks did not get to on Tuesday. Today is also food waste pick up day.

Transit

Path train service between Newark and Journal Square has been restored. New Jersey transit trains, which were sometimes canceled or delayed on Monday and Tuesday, are back on schedule today.
