WILDWOOD CREST, N.J. — Crews from the Department of Public Works (DPW) and the Public Safety Department are continuing snow removal efforts Tuesday morning, clearing streets and parking lots across the borough following a winter storm.

Officials have urged drivers to maintain a safe distance from snowplows operating at slow speeds. DPW crews are also working to collect trash from Monday and Tuesday pickup zones, though any uncollected trash will be retrieved on Wednesday.

While Borough Hall remains open during normal hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., some facilities are experiencing changes due to the weather. The Crest Pier Recreation Center will open at 12 noon, with all morning activities, including adult fitness classes and pickleball, canceled. The Joseph Von Savage Memorial Pool and the Crest Arts Pavilion are closed for the day.

Residents can call 609-522-7446 for information on snow removal or trash collection and 609-523-0202 for recreation updates. Public safety concerns can be reported at 609-522-2456, while emergencies should be directed to 911.
