The No Parking on village roadways will be in effect from Wednesday night through Friday, January 3.

Additionally, Suffern Village Hall at 61 Washington Avenue will be used as a Warming Center through Friday, January 3.

Residents can visit the top floor Community Room, which will be heated.

There will be no garbage or recyclables picked up on Friday, January 3, so the Village of Suffern has requested that residents refrain from putting any containers curbside as they may interfere with plow service. Vehicles parked on the village roadsides should also be moved to make room for snow plows.
