Snow Removal

1. Department of Public Works strives to clear roads of snow and ice as quickly as possible.
2. Depending on the severity and composition of a storm, there may be delays in clearing some roads.
3. Objective: Open all roads. Begin with our primary arteries. Then proceed to secondary and tertiary roads.
4. Once all roads are open: Begin the process of widening roads to their full width and clearing intersections.
5. During this process, snow will be plowed back across your driveway.
6. Thank you for understanding that we have no alternative. Please cooperate for the safety of all residents.
