Attention Penn Township Cedar Hollow Residents:

On-street parking will be temporarily prohibited for snow removal from 12:01am Sunday, January 25, 2026 to 12:01am Tuesday, for the segment of Cedar Hollow (street) where townhouses 270 through 362 are located. Vehicle parking will be allowed in the nearby Cedar Hollow Park parking compound during this time. The relatively narrow and curved alignment of the street along with the existing ice there makes it challenging to clear the expected large amount of snow efficiently without damaging vehicles.
