The snow emergency in the Borough of West Chester means you can park in all of the borough parking garages at no cost. You don’t have to clean off your car after the storm and the plow trucks can better clean the streets. Win- Win!!
Please be safe in the coming hours as the roads become difficult to travel.
Mayor Lillian L. DeBaptiste has declared a snow emergency for West Chester Borough beginning Saturday, January 24th, 2026, at 6PM to Tuesday, January 27th, at 6PM.
