Westfield Police Moving Daily Roadwork Alerts to New Nixle Channel

The Westfield Police Department is moving its daily roadwork alerts to a new, separate Nixle channel, according to a notice posted March 13.

Union County Life is tracking the change for Westfield residents who rely on Nixle for local updates.

The change is meant to keep the main Nixle channel focused on emergency and public safety notifications, while giving residents the option of whether they want daily roadwork updates at all.

Residents who want to keep receiving the roadwork alerts must opt in. To enroll, text 07090ROADS to 888-777.

Subscribing to the new roadwork channel will not remove residents from the main Nixle channel. The two are separate subscriptions, and residents can sign up for one, both, or neither.
