As employees of Livingston’s Department of Public Works continue to clean up debris from Winter Storm Quinn, the township reminds property owners they are responsible for trees or limbs that have fallen on their properties.

Township trees are located within the ten-foot right of way, the area beginning at the curb line and extending ten feet back toward the home. DPW will dispose of the trees and brush that have fallen in that area and into the street during the storm.

Students exited the school at 10 a.m. Wednesday and remained outside for 17 minutes, one minute for every life lost, both as a tribute to those who died and to protest gun violence.

When winter storm “Quinn” hit Livingston on Wednesday, March 7, it was mighty indeed. The nor’easter dumped 15 to 18 inches of wet, heavy snow on the township, bringing down hundreds of trees, branches, and wires, causing widespread power outages, and shutting down schools and businesses.

“This was a storm like no other I’ve seen in my 40 years here,” said an exhausted Mike Anello, superintendant of Public Works. The snow started around 2 a.m. Wednesday morning, and continued to fall steadily until about 1 p.m., without really sticking. Then it ramped up, with Anello estimating a snowfall rate of two to three inches per hour until 7 p.m. Totals ranged from 15 to 18 inches in Livingston.
