“Drive sober.
Or get pulled over. “

A few important reminders incase you forgot:

💫 drink responsibly.
💫 do not operate a motor vehicle under the influence of any drugs or alcohol.
💫an Uber is far cheaper than a DUI/DWI.
💫 an Uber is far cheaper than a funeral.

Have fun and be safe. 🔵⚫️

Bring on 2023 🎉🥳

Incase you haven’t noticed from looking out your windows (from inside your home, that is) there is zero visibility. Cars are abandoned all over our city, especially on Rt. 5.

With that being said…STAY OFF THE ROADS.

Believe it or not there is still a driving ban in Lackawanna. But from all the traffic out there you wouldn’t believe it. The people who are out driving around are impeding our street crews from clearing streets, and forcing us to extend this order. Please do not drive in Lackawanna. Summonses have been and will continued to be issued for driving while a driving ban is in effect.

11/18/2022

JUST A REMINDER: Lackawanna is under a State of Emergency. A travel ban throughout our city is in full effect and is being enforced. STAY OFF THE ROAD.

The city is trying their best to clear the roadway, however these road obstructions (stuck vehicles due to people attempting to drive) are not doing any favors.

Be safe.

11/18/2022

Beginning at 8 pm this evening, A state of emergency will take effect for all of Erie County. A driving ban will take effect at 9pm throughout Erie County, including the City of Lackawanna, and continue until further notice.

11/16/2022

Looks like Winter is going to be barreling into the City this week. Heavy snow is expected over the weekend. Please be sure to follow the alternate parking regulations so our street crews can clear the snow from the City Streets!! If you must travel, please use caution. Our winter driving skills will be put to the test. Please drive at a speed that you can SAFELY operate your vehicle, don’t follow other vehicles too closely, and if you must be somewhere at a certain time, leave earlier to account for any delays you may encounter. STAY WARM and STAY SAFE!!
