City of Rehoboth Beach – Winter Storm Information

City crews in Rehoboth Beach are working to pre-treat streets and sidewalks ahead of the snow expected Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday. City officials as residents to keep the following in mind:

• Avoid parking vehicles on streets tomorrow and Wednesday if possible to allow city crews to clear roads more effectively.

• If a snow emergency is declared, the city manager can restrict parking on both sides and the full length of Rehoboth Avenue, Bayard Avenue, and State Road. Please be prepared to move vehicles if necessary.

• Clearing sidewalks is the responsibility of individual residential and commercial property owners. If you can be a good Samaritan and help a neighbor out, please do so.

• Resist the temptation to over-salt your sidewalks. Using too much salt can cause major damage to your driveway and lawn once the snow melts – not to mention it’s hard on furry paws. Please plan to sweep up the salt after the snow is melted.

Any city office closures and impacts to city services will be posted to the city’s website and on social media sites. Where appropriate, email and text alerts will be sent out to subscribers. Please be aware that the city’s new website is officially launching February 12, but likely will be active as early as February 11.
