Hello.  This is Mayor John Coiro.

 

This message is to announce road closings on Saturday, November 30, when the annual fire truck parade will once again be in Totowa.  The parade route begins at Passaic Valley High School at 5pm and then proceeds through Woodland Park and eventually enters Totowa at the Hillery Street Bridge.  The parade route will then continue on Totowa Road and turn south on Union Boulevard and will end at Crews Street. 

 

Therefore, beginning at 5 pm, Totowa Road from the Hillery Street bridge to Union Boulevard and Union Boulevard from Totowa Road to Bogert Street will be closed to traffic.  Furthermore, all streets that intersect with the parade route will be blocked to traffic and Peterson Road and Cherba Place will also be closed.  Please take note if you are driving through town on Saturday.

 

The annual fire truck parade has become very popular with our residents.  Please come out and enjoy the holiday atmosphere.  The fire department will be collecting unwrapped toys for children at St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Paterson and the elves will be at the beginning of the parade accepting toys.  Unwrapped toys can also be brought to the Volunteer’s Firehouse on Mitchell Ave. on Sunday December 1st from 10 AM until noon.

 

In closing I’d like to wish all our residents a Happy Thanksgiving and I look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
