Johnson City Issues Emergency Restrictions as Snow Piles Up

In response to the escalating winter storm, the Village of Johnson City has formally declared a State of Emergency, effective immediately. This decision, made on Sunday, January 25, 2026, reflects the increasingly hazardous conditions and significant snowfall affecting the community.

Travel Ban Enforced on Village Roads

In alignment with state and county mandates, Johnson City officials have prohibited all travel on village roads. Residents are strongly advised to remain off the streets unless absolutely necessary. This measure is crucial to ensure that emergency responders and road maintenance crews can operate safely and efficiently.

Vehicle Removal Requested to Support Operations

Residents are requested to relocate all vehicles from public streets for the duration of the emergency. Vehicles left on roadways can obstruct snow removal efforts and impede access for emergency services. Any vehicle posing a hazard or blocking plowing activities may be subject to towing.

Village Offices and Court Closed

All municipal offices, including the Village Court, will be closed on Monday, January 26, 2026, due to unsafe travel conditions. The planned reopening is scheduled for Tuesday, January 27, 2026, contingent upon improved weather and road safety.
