Snow Operations –
The DPW/Highway Division maintains over 220 miles of roads and 27 miles of sidewalks throughout town during the winter months.
The primary goal during a storm is to maintain roads so that emergency crews (police, fire, and ambulance) have access to each property. The secondary goal is to treat the icy surfaces and/or push snow aside for safe passage of the general public’s use of roadways. Several variables affect how we deal with a storm which include: Air and road temperature (before, during and after the storm) time of day, day of week, forecast, and duration of storm.
