Wanaque Winter Parking Borough Ordinance Update

In accordance with § 108-25, whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers the streets and highways of the Borough, no vehicle shall be parked on any street or highway within the Borough. The above parking prohibitions shall remain in effect after the snow has ceased until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic.

Unless penalty is expressly provided by the New Jersey Statute, every person convicted of a violation of this section, or any supplement thereto, shall be liable to a penalty of $80.00.

Notwithstanding the within specified restriction, parking shall be permitted on both sides of the streets on Bergen Avenue (from Carter Road to Paul Place) and on Decker Road (entire length).

Please note, the aforementioned Borough ordinance applies whenever the roadway is snow covered, regardless of the date or time of day.

Welcome to The Borough of Wanaque

Welcome to the official website of the Borough of Wanaque, New Jersey, a residential suburban community located in Passaic County. Made up of both Wanaque (formerly Midvale) and Haskell. The word Wanaque, in the language of the Lenni Lenape, may come from an Algonquin root meaning “rest and repose.” A more popular interpretation is “place of sassafras.”
Wanaque was incorporated as an independent Borough on February 23, 1918, when Pompton Township was split up into three Boroughs, along with Bloomingdale and Ringwood, based on the results of a referendum held on March 22, 1918.
